11 December 2012 There is no dispute raised on the import of raw material as it will qualify as input service used in or in relation to manufacture of final product. the cenvat credit can be availed if the manufactured goods are excisable. The dept is disputing only the cha service of exports stating factory is the place of removal and cha services are availed post removal of goods.
