Frequently Asked Questions

HSN classification assigns a standardised code to goods that determines the applicable customs duty rate, exemption eligibility, and regulatory treatment for import and export transactions. Incorrect classification results in wrong duty payment, clearance delays, and exposure to customs investigations and penalties.
The Import of Goods at Concessional Rate scheme allows importers to avail reduced customs duty on goods used for specified purposes such as manufacturing. Compliance requires adherence to procedural conditions, end-use monitoring, and regular filing of utilisation statements with customs authorities.
The Manufacture and Other Operations in Warehouse Regulations scheme allows businesses to import goods into a customs bonded warehouse and manufacture or process them before clearance, deferring duty payment until goods are cleared for home consumption or exported.
An Authorised Economic Operator is a certified trader recognised by customs authorities as compliant with international supply chain security standards. AEO certification provides benefits including faster clearances, reduced examinations, and preferential treatment in customs procedures.
Duty drawback allows exporters to claim a refund of customs duties paid on imported inputs used in the manufacture of exported goods. Eligibility depends on the nature of the goods, applicable duty drawback rates, and compliance with procedural and documentation requirements.
A Post Clearance Audit is a review conducted by customs authorities after goods have been cleared to verify the accuracy of declarations, duty payments, and compliance with applicable regulations. Advance audit preparedness and documentation review significantly reduces the risk of adverse findings.
