Sir, Suppose my factory is located in Gujarat. I import material from foreign country on which I pay "X" amount as Custom duty & CVD. Said material reached at Mumbai port. I pay duty and Bill of Entry also filed in my name. So, I am an importer. Then I want to sale said material to my customer who is in Maharashtra state.
What it makes difference if I directly dispatch goods from Mumbai port to my customer. 2)I take material in my factory in Gujarat and then dispatch it to customer in Maharastra.
