Customs duty on warranty from foreign exporter

While buying software plus hardware, European vendor is giving 2 years free warranty. Possibly, price is all inclusive. Now as Indian buyer wants extended 3 years, they will charge separately.

This warranty is probably paper based and to be generated after Supply invoice is settled. How to assess customs valuation, pay duty, applicable accounting standard, depreciation due to 3 years economic life, segregation from 2 years free out of 5 years warranty in totality.

Kindly guide.

Quick Summary
An Indian buyer is seeking guidance on customs duty and GST implications for an extended 3-year warranty on software and hardware purchased from a European vendor. The vendor offers a 2-year free warranty, with the extended period charged separately. The buyer needs to understand how to assess customs valuation, pay duties, apply accounting standards, and handle depreciation for the total 5-year warranty period.

In my view there will be customs duty on such transaction.Only GST part needs to be taken care of .
