Export of excisable goods

Please help...Cant seem to connect them all.

Firstly, there are two options for export of excisable good.

1 under rebate (Rule 18 of Centreal excise Rules)

2. without payment of duty (Rule 19)

Are any of the two option above available on specified or notified goods? Or at the free will of the exporter.

Then, if an exporteris eligible for rebate or export without duty(which are the only 2 options available) how does the question of refund of input come into being?(cenvat credit rule 5)

Finally, please link duty drawback under custome to this..

I understand all of these provisions seperately, but am unable to link them all.

Duty Drawback under custom is an additional export incentive and it has nothing to do with any of the earlier part of your question.

Under Rule 18, one can claim rebate if excise duty had been levied on final product while it was being removed from the factory gate after providing all the proof of export.

Under Rule 19 Finished Goods can be removed without payment of duty.

Both the above options are available at the free will of the exporter.

Cenvat Credit of input/input sevices use in the process of manufacturing of exported finished goods can be claimed either against the excise duty payable on the finised goods removed for home consumption or can be claimed as refund.

export under rule 19 makes u eligible to take input credit as credit balance or refund under rule 5 of cenvat credit rules .

duty drawback is entitled only if u have not claimed any rebate under rule or cenvat credit on inputs.

Guest

Thanks a lot

Got it...

if you claim rebate you have obviously utilised cenvat credit you are not eligible for refund...
but if its exported under duty free (rule 19) then we apply for refund for the inputs used...

Thanks for clarifying that there are no restriction on use for either rule 18 or 19... That is they are used on all goods.

Drawback has no connection,

asked to confirm, to be safe, if there was a connection and i'm missing the point.

Thanks for your time:-)

duty drawback or any export incentive is barred if input credit is utilized at any stage for excise / customs.

duty drawback is the process of notional replenishment of duties and indirect taxes suffered at manufacturing point without availing input credit.

@ U S Sharma

Duty Drawback or export incentive is NOT barred EVEN if input credit is utilised at any stage of excise / custom.

Manufacturer is eligible to claim the duty drawback no matter whether he exports the goods under rule 18 or 19 if the said product is qualified for the duty drawback @ rate prescribed by the central government. Moreover he would also be eligible for claiming the cenvat credit on the input or input services.

Actually Drawback is the notional replenishment of duties and indirect taxes sufferred in manufacturing process of FG (i.e. wastages which is cleared as scrap at the payment of duty for home consumption) and it does not bar the manufacturer to claim the cenvat credit on input.

The link of the relevant notificaiton has been given below, it would clear your doubt. If u r still having different view kindly share.

It means duty drawback can not be claimed if the goods have been exported under rule 18 i.e. removal of goods after payment of duty and claiming rebate after providing the proof of export.

But if the same product has been removed for export without payment of duty under rule 19 then exporter would be eligible for duty drawback as well as cenvat credit on input.

Pls. share if your views differ.

Circular No. 781/14/2004-CX

23^rd March, 2004.

F.No. 267 /11/2002-CX-8

Government of India

Ministry of Finance

Department of Revenue

Central Board of Excise & Customs

Subject: Reversal of CENVAT Credit on clearance of goods under rule 19(2) of Central Excise Rules, 2002 under notification 43/2001-CE (NT) dated 26.6.2001- regarding.

I am directed to invite your attention to notification No. 43/2001-CE (NT) dated 26.6.2001 as amended issued under rule 19(3) read with rule 19(2) of Central Excise Rules, 2002 wherein procurement of excisable goods without payment of duty for the purpose of use in manufacture or processing of export goods and their exportation out of India has been provided subject to the conditions, safeguards and procedures mentioned therein. Doubts have arisen over application of sub-rule (1), (2) and (3) of rule 6 of CENVAT Credit Rules, 2002 relating to the clearances made by the supplier under notification No. 43/2001-CE (NT).

2. The mater has been examined by Board. As per sub-rule (1) of rule 6 of CENVAT Credit Rules, 2002, the credit is not available on inputs which are used in the manufacture of exempted goods. Sub-rule (2) and sub-rule (3) of the said rule gives an option to the manufacturer to maintain the separate inventory of inputs for use in exempted goods or pay an amount of 8% of the price of the exempted goods (barring the exceptions mentioned therein) in case he chooses to avail the credit on common inputs i.e. inputs used for both exempted and dutiable goods. Thus, the provisions of sub-rule (1), (2) and (3) are applicable to those manufacturers who manufacture both dutiable and exempted goods. Since notification No. 43/2001-CE (NT) has been issued under rule 19 of Central Excise Rules, 2002 which only prescribes conditions, safeguards and procedures, the goods procured under this notification does not attract the provisions of sub-rule (1), (2) and (3) of rule 6 of CENVAT Credit Rules, 2002.

3. However, a doubt was raised whether the exporter can claim Drawback in case the inputs are procured without payment of duty under the said notification and the resultant goods are exported under claim of drawback. It was also stated that since the exporter declares his intention while exporting the goods to avail duty drawback in Form ARE-2 {clause (d)}, the verification that whether the exporter has procured the inputs without payment of duty or not can take place only at the time of sanction of drawback. In this connection, your attention is invited to clause (ii) of the second proviso to rule 3(1) of the Customs and Central Excise Duties Drawback Rules, 1995 which states that no drawback shall be allowed if the export goods are produced or manufactured using imported materials or excisable materials in respect of which the duties have not been paid. Accordingly, the exporter at the time of claiming of drawback is required to give a declaration that the facility under sub-rule (2) of rule 19 of Central Excise Rules, 2002 has not been or shall not be availed of i.e. no inputs procured without payment of duty have been used in the export goods. In other words, the exporter cannot claim Drawback in case any of the inputs has been obtained without payment of duty except to the extent and in the manner explicitly permitted under Customs and Central Excise Duties Drawback Rules, 1995 .

4. Trade and filed formations may be informed suitably.

5. Receipt of the circular may be acknowledged.

6. Hindi version will follow.
