DEPB value caps of export products – Automotive Tyres and Tubes
Attention is invited to value caps fixed in respect of
export products – Automotive Tyres and Tubes covered under Sl.No.534 & 535 under
the Chemical Product Group of Appendix 28 A of the Handbook of Procedures, Vol.I.
In this regard Automotive Tyre Manufacturers Association has been representing
that the term “pair” against the Column of value caps in Sl.No.534 may be
corrected to read as “a set of tyre and tube” and that the same against S.NO.535
may be corrected to read as “per piece”. It has also been represented that
Customs & Licensing Authorities in various ports are giving different
interpretation to this term and the exporters are facing undue hardship in
getting DEPB Credit on exports made since the introduction of value cap in these
entries.
2. The matter has been considered by the DEPB Committee and accordingly it is
clarified as under:
(i) In Sl.No.534, the term “per pair” appearing under column of value cap shall
mean “a set of one tyre and one tube” and not “a pair of tyres” or even “a pair
of tubes”;
(ii) In Sl.No. 535, the term “per pair” under the column of value cap shall be
corrected to read as “per piece”
.
3. This issues with the approval of DGFT.
