19 July 2012Hello,
What shall be my purchase value in case of imports? I actually convert the amount of purchases from dollars to rupees using the exchange rate given in RBI website on the date of purchase. Is this correct? Or should I use FOB value instead? I prefer not to use FOB value since the Customs Dept does hike the purchase value by some % as it has its own norms of valuation.

In case of Import in the purchase means the Purchase Value (USD) as per the Exchange rate of the Custom clearance date + the custom duty (BCD+CVD+EDU cess on Custom +Sec high Edu cess on Custom + SAD ). Logistic charges will also added to the purchase price.
So this is the total purchase in the books
Also the CHA will send the Import check list in which the Invoice Value , disc , exchnage rate is mentioned so take that to calculate the purchases.

Hello Raghav,
So you mean instead of taking the RBI's rate of exchange as on the date of purchase, the exchange rate mentioned in the custom documents should be taken? Or do I have an option to take either as long as I'm doing it consistently?

Import Purchase Value is Foreign Supplier USD Value * exchange rate as per BOE. For arriving cost of import purchase only we have to add the Customs Duty minus CVD availed on that + Ocean Freight (if FOB basis) + Insurance (if FOB basis) + C & F Charges etc.

Hi All,
A told earlier - the USD value mentioned most of the time is higher than the RBI rate. I want to know what should i do in the below scenario.
Total Invoice - 1000 USD
USD Conversion in BOE - 75
USD Conversion as per RBI on that day - 73.75
I take my purchase into my book on the above day should my total invoice value in INR be 75000 or 73750.
Is there a document which I can refer to validate the above ?

In the above case , BOE rate is 75 and the USD Conversion rate is 73.75. BOE i.e.75 rate is only used for the purpose of calculation of Custom duty and other duties and IGST.
Therefore , rate of USD 73.75 wil be used to account purchase in the books.
