Though BL is prepared, the consignment has not been taken out of the territorial waters of india. This consignment cannot be treated as export goods as the same is returned. Export benefit cannot be claimed. Please refer to the case - 1980 (006) ELT 0465 Mad. Lucas T.V.S. Padi, Madras Vs. Assistant Collector of Customs
