Advance Authorisation / license registration BG and Bond amount calculation

We are first time manufacturer exporter and have obtained an import license / Advance Authorisation for duty free imports of inputs for the item to export. We want to register the license at port and there is a lot of confusion about Bank Guarantee amount calculation and Bond amount also. Will the BG amount be 15% of Duty or 15% of CIF value of goods imported? Like wise will the bond amount be 110% of duty saved or CIF value of goods imported. Due to divided opinion by CHAs whom we have approached for license registration we are completely confused on this. Kindly advise, need your urgent help.

Quick Summary
First-time manufacturer exporters seeking clarity on Advance Authorisation registration are confused about Bank Guarantee (BG) and Bond amount calculations. The discussion aims to clarify whether the BG is 15% of duty or CIF value, and if the bond is 110% of duty saved or CIF value. Guidance suggests the bond is 100% of duty saved plus 10% for fluctuations, with BG being a percentage of the bond amount, potentially waived for those with special customs status.

Bond is required to be executed for duty saved amount + 3 years simple interest @ 18%pa.You need to execute Bank gurantee 15% or whatever percent as may be required by Customs and as per your status will be of Bond amount like 15% of the bond amount.

If you have any problem you may contact me.

Bond Amount - 100% of duty saved amount.  However, 10% is further added to accommodate any fluctuations.

BG Amount - ___ % as applicable for you on Duty Saved Amount.   If you have any special status you shall avail exemption on BG.  Refer board circulars in this regard or check with your CHA.
