We possess IEC Code. We want to import certain items in Central Excise Tariff Chapter 4706 (comes under 130 items w.e.f. 01.03.2011 started with 1% duty without benefit of CENVAT) from various suitable countries and do trading in the Indian market.
Is it required to obtain central excise licence for trading, charge and pay duty. If so at what rate, i.e., 2% (without benefit of CENVAT) or 6% (with benefit of CENVAT). Please explain and clarify.
My main question whether is it required to obtain Central Excise Licence for Trading since importing product falls under tariff duty payment for home clearance. If so, what is the rate of duty.
