Removal of pre-import condition for claiming

Advanced Authorisation/ EPCG/ 100% EOUs.
Government in October 2017 exempted the payment
of integrated tax and Compensation Cess for the
supplies made for exports under Advanced
Authorisation scheme. However a “pre-import”
condition was introduced which implied that to avail
this exemption, exporters have to first import the raw
materal and then export the finished goods. This
condition didint exist in pre-GST. Various
representations have been received from exporters
association. Even post GST, the imports under
Advanced Authorisations are exempted from payment
of Basic Customs Duty, ACD, Safeguards Duty,
wherever applicable, whether goods are imported
prior to exports or subsequent to exports. Only in
case of Integrated Tax and Compensation Cess, the
pre-import condition has been imposed creating
practical difficulties for the exporters and capital
blockages for them.
A proposal has been sent to D/o
