07 December 2015 Resp. Sir,

Pl let me know:

1. difference between BED & CVD

2. Please explain with example


Regards,


07 December 2015 BED excise duty charged on goods manufactured in India.
CVD is countervailing duty charged on imported goods to protect the domestic industry. Both the rates are equal.

07 December 2015 BED means Basic Excice Duty. - rate of excise charged by Excice Authorities.

Countervailing duties (CVDs), also known as anti-subsidy duties, are trade import duties imposed under World Trade Organization (WTO) rules to neutralize the negative effects of subsidies. (Means, due to imports, our state governments are not getting VAT/ Sales Tax. In order to statisy the same and make the local products competitive price wise, it is brought into force.).

Hope it is clear. :)


07 December 2015 Types of Duties under Customs

Various duties under Customs can be levied on almost all imports whereas only few goods are subject to export duty. Let us understand different types of duties under Customs Law for the purpose of import of goods.
custom duty
Let us study each of the above in detail:
Basic Customs Duty
Goods imported into India are chargeable to basic customs duty (BCD) under Customs Act, 1962. The rates of BCD are indicated in I Schedule (for Imports) of Customs Tariff Act, 1975. Education cess (EC) @2% and secondary & higher education cess (SHEC) @1% are applicable extra.
Generally, BCD is levied at standard rate of duty but if certain conditions are satisfied (below), the importer can avail the benefit of preferential rate of duty on imported goods.
Conditions for availing the benefit of preferential rate of duty:
Specific claim for preferential rate must be made by the importer,
Import must be from preferential area as notified by the Central Government,
The goods should be produced/manufactured in such preferential area.


National Calamity Contingent Duty (NCCD)
It is levied on import of pan masala, chewing tobacco & cigarettes at different rates as applicable. It is levied @1% on PFY, motor cars, multi utility vehicles and 2-wheelers and Rs.50 per ton on crude oil vide section 169 of Finance Act, 2003.
Additional Duty of Customs or Countervailing Duty (CVD)
As per section 3(1) of Customs Tariff Act, any article imported into India is liable to duty (in addition to BCD) equal to excise duty for the time being leviable on a like article if produced/manufactured (or could be or capable of being produced/manufactured) in India.
If goods manufactured in India are exempt from excise duty, then there is no CVD – CCE Vs J K Synthetics (2000) (SC).
CVD cannot be levied, if exemption from central excise duty is based on goods manufactured by SSI units or goods manufactured without aid of power – CC Vs Malwa Industries (2009) 235 ELT 214 (SC). If the importer is the manufacturer availing benefit of SSI exemption under notification 8/2003 under Central Excise, thereby not paying excise duty on final product manufactured. Such manufacturer is not liable to pay CVD on imports, even if not liable to pay any duty under Central Excise Act, 1944.
If imported goods are used by the importer in the same factory or factory belonging to the importer, then no CVD attracted on such imported goods – CC Vs Malwa Industries (2009) 235 ELT 214 (SC).
If imported goods attract excise duty in India as per section 4A of Central Excise Act, then CVD will be calculated on MRP basis only.
CVD can be levied only when the importer has imported manufactured goods. It means CVD can be levied only if goods are obtained by a process of manufacture – Hyderabad Industries Ltd Vs Union of India (1995) (SC).
CVD can be imposed even if there is exemption from BCD.
If the importer is the manufacturer, he can claim cenvat credit of CVD.
No EC and SHEC applicable on CVD w.e.f 1/3/2015.
No CVD on Anti-dumping duty, Safeguard duty, Protective duty or Countervailing duty on subsidized articles.
Special Additional Customs Duty (Special CVD)
U/s 3(5) of Customs Tariff Act, imported goods in addition to BCD & CVD shall also be liable to Special CVD at the rate notified by Central Government (CG) (at present, it is @4%).
Special CVD is fully exempt in respect of the following imported goods:
a) Goods packed for retail sales covered under Standards of Weight & Measurement Act (Legal Metrology Act, 2009)
b) Wrist watches & pocket watches
c) Telephones for cellular networks
d) Articles of apparel excluding parts of made-up clothing accessories
A manufacturer is eligible to claim cenvat credit of Special CVD paid. A dealer is allowed refund of Special CVD provided such dealer is liable for VAT. A service provider is not eligible to avail cenvat credit of Special CVD.
Protective Duty
As per section 6(1) of Customs Tariff Act, protective duty is levied by the CG upon recommendation made by the Tariff Committee and upon CG being satisfied that it is necessary to provide protection to any industry established in India. At present, this duty is not in force. No CVD, EC & SHEC are applicable.
Safeguard Duty
As per section 8B(1) of Customs Tariff Act, safeguard duty is imposed for protecting the interests of any domestic industry in India and it is product specific. CG can impose provisional safeguard duty, pending final determination up to 200 days. Effective from 6th August 2014, if imported goods are cleared in Domestic Tariff Area (DTA) then safeguard duty is payable. No CVD, EC & SHEC are applicable.
Countervailing Duty on Subsidized Articles
As per section 9 of Customs Tariff Act, it is levied on articles which are imported by getting subsidies from other country. No CVD, EC & SHEC are applicable.
Anti-dumping Duty
As per section 9A of Customs Tariff Act, it is imposed on imports of a particular country. It is country specific. Dumping exists when a product is exported from one country to another at a price which is less than its normal value prevailing in the exporting country. The difference between the normal value and the export price is the dumping margin based on which anti dumping duty is imposed. No CVD, EC & SHEC are applicable.
