19 July 2011 We import used machines from Romania, Here is a problem in calculation of Custom Duty. We imported some machines at Purchase invoice of Euro 2500/-, 3000/- & 3500/- for Qty of 1,1,& 2 Nos. but custom duty was calculated by Govt.Officer of Euro 3050/-, 3660/- & 4270/- respectively. Exchange Rate for the day was 1 Euro = INR 64.95,Total Weight was 20500 Kg. Now Please tell me that

1. Why & how Duty was calculated by revised price not according to price of our Invoice?

2. What will be the total amount of custom duty?

19 July 2011 Invoice value is increased by 22% by the custom department.

In your case, Custom duty is not being paid on the invoice value, its being paid on the assessable value determined by custom department.
