Under the scheme government can issue an Advance Authorization or DFIA to import inputs the duty free. In addition DEPB is issued after export as a script mentioning the duty amount that can be used for further imports.

The standard input-output norms (SION) have been published by the government for more than 6000 products. These are available in the Handbook of Procedures (Vol-II) of Exim Policy. The input-output norms are to be followed for duty free inputs, while applying for advance Authorization. Authorization can still be applied on self- declaration basis, if however no norms are available.

ADVANCE AUTHORISATION

  • An Advance Authorization is issued to permit duty free import of inputs, which are physically incorporated in the export product (making normal allowance for wastage) subject to genuine user condition. Such Authorizations avail exemption from payment of basic customs duty, additional customs duty, anti dumping duty and safeguard duty, if any.

  • Advance Authorizations are issued with a responsibility to export the quantity and value of goods mentioned therein in a fixed period of 24 months. Before imports customs ask for a bond or a bank guarantee towards security for duty saved, till export obligation is fulfilled.
  • Advance Authorizations or materials imported against it can-not be transferred even after completion of Export Obligation.
  • Advance Authorizations are also available for Annual Requirement on basis of SION as well as on SELF-DECLARATION

DFIA is issued on minimum value addition of 20%, and only for export of products covered under the SION.

DUTY ENTITLEMENT PASSBOOK SCHEME

The purpose of DEPB is to reduce the effect of the incidence of Customs duty deemed to have been suffered on the import content of the export product. The neutralization is provided by way of grant of duty credit against the export product. The duty credit is given as a prescribed percentage of FOB value of exports, made in freely convertible currency.

This duty credit can be used for import of any goods/capital goods which are not prohibited. The DEPB and/or the items imported against it are freely transferable.

INDIGENOUS SOURCING

The holder of advance Authorization and DFIA may also source their inputs from indigenous sources. In such cases, there can be exemption of excise duty payable by the indigenous supplier. Additionally, the indigenous supplier can import his own raw material duty free or can even get a drawback.
