Dear Expert, First of all thankx for giving your valuable time.Moreover, i still didnot understand. Why cannot A sell this cargo to C after adding some margin and C clears the goods from customs on the basis of original Import Invoice, therefore he can save the extra 2% to be loaded on Invoice Value. If goods are sold before clearing no VAT/CST is also applicable. e.g. Say Import Price is say 1000 USD. A adds 10 USD and sells to C, i.e., on 1010 USD. C can clear the goods and pays duty on 1000 USD and also pays the invoice amount to A i.e.,1010 USD. In this case there will be No HSS and NO VAT/CST. Please advice.
