No. FPS Product Code ITC(HS) Code Description Rate Percent Corrected ITC HS Code 608 608 87082900 OTHER BRAKES AND SERVO BRAKES AND PART THEREOF 2% 87083000 This correction is necessitated as it was noticed that HS code 87082900 was wrongly mentioned prior to 25.2.2014 which was rectified in Public Notice No.52 dated 25.2.2014 for Other-Brakes and Servo Brakes and Part thereof . However, as the intention was to incentivise Other-Brakes and Servo Brakes and Part thereof , the matter was reviewed and it has been decided that FPS benefit can be granted for export of item with description Other-Brakes and Servo Brakes and Part thereof either under ITC HS code 87083000 or 87082900 , as per FPS Sr. No. 608 of Appendix 37D of HBP Vol.I (2009-14), if exported prior to issuance of Public Notice No.52 dated 25.2.2014 . However, if FPS benefit has been granted by any RA on the basis of ITC HS code 87082900 alone, where the description is other than Other-Brakes and Servo Brakes and Part thereof , such cases need to be reviewed by RA any if it is found that the same has been wrongly granted, recovery should be made by Regional Authorities. Effect of Public Notice : The item under description, Other Brakes and Servo Brakes and Part thereof has been incentivized irrespective of the ITC(HS) codes ( 87082900 or 87083000 ) mentioned against the product description, exported under Foreign Trade Policy 2009-14 between 05.06.2012 and 24.02.2014. From 25.02.2014 onwards both description and ITC (HS) code should match for grant of incentives under FPS ( FTP 2009-14 ) to the said item mentioned at Sl. No. 637of Public Notice No. 52 dated 25.02.2014 . Items inentivised under ITC(HS) code 87082900 , which did not meet the description Other Brakes and Servo Brakes and Part thereof are clarified to have been non-entitled, as apparent from the description.
