Mr C Shah, If the imported goods are in the customs gowdown and not cleared by them means you have not received them.The goods are still in transit. The sale done at this stage is also a high sea sale and it is tax free. So,no VAT or CST is applicable.A high sea sale is a sale in the course of import and exempt from VAT/CST....MJK
