imports - Air freight Restriction

The Importers invoice is as follows :

Raw Material Cost                                  $ 1,00,000.00

Air Freight                                                 $ 50,000.00

CFR Chennai Air Port                            $ 1,50,000.00

Let me know the Customs calculation in this regard.

Air Freight Restriction of 20% is for  both FOB and CIF or only for FOB Imports. Our C&F is claiming that that restriction is only for FOB imports and not for CIF imports? Is he Correct ?

Please clarify in this regard. Thanks in this regard.

In the case of imports by Air fright. Freight charges will be limited to 20% of FOB price. this is the maximum limit. It is irrelevent whether it is FOB purchase or CIF purchase.

so in this case 20% of FOB cost will be assumed as Air Freight. that may be 20% on matrial cost.

In air import, There is no limit of air freight but it says that maximum 20% of air freight can be added in assessable & assessable value is the base of duty calculation in import.
