13 February 2014 No CvD paid by the Trader for import of goods for subsequent sale is not Cenvatable because,as per the Central Excise Law and rules framed thereunder for availing Cenvat of CvD paid at the time of Import of the goods the imported goods must be used in manufacturing of any final product which is excisable and not exempt.In your given case the goods is imported forsale and not as an input for any fianl product which is excisable and not exempt.
