Any expenditure incurred to purchase a capital assets is an expenditure of capital nature and should be capitalised In the case of Sitalpur Sugar Works Ltd., the Supreme Court of India has held that the customs duty paid by an assessee for acquiring the capital asset would be a part of the cost of the equipment of the assessee, and in similar way, the customs duty paid by the assessee when the equipment is imported to India for the first time would also be capital in nature.
The fact that the custom duty has been paid at a later stage, does not make any difference for the purpose of income tax as sum paid at a later stage should be capitalised on the date of payment. The depreciation in income tax act is since allowed on block of assets method where in the value of block is adjusted and not the value of individual assets for any sales / discard of addition of the new assets, there is no scope for calculation of depreciation retrospectively.
Hope this clarifies your query.
