OFFICE OF THE COMMISSIONER OF CUSTOMS (EXPORT) JAWAHAR NEHRU CUSTOM HOUSE, NHAVA SHEVA TAL : URAN, DIST : RAIGAD, MAHARASHTRA 400 707 F.No. S/12-Gen-985/06-07.DBK Dt. 09.02.2007 PUBLIC NOTICE NO. 03/2007 Sub :- Testing of samples in case of goods for which benefit of Dbk sub. sl. No. 732301 is claimed. m/r. Attention of trade, exporters is drawn to the subject mentioned above. It has come to notice that exporters are claiming benefit of Dbk sub. sl. No. 732301 applicable to Table, kitchen or other household articles of stainless steel with nickel content 8% or above. However, no test/analysis report is submitted during assessment or thereafter. It is therefore brought to the notice of the exporters that they are required to submit the test reports at the time of assessment or examination. If samples have been drawn during factory stuffing, proof of having submitted it to DYCC should be shown to assessing staff/examination staff in the export shed. In case of dock stuffing, the exporters are required to cooperate with the staff for drawal of samples, as the same is mandatory under CBEC circular No. 34/95-cus., dt. 06.04.1995. A separate S.O. has been issued to inform staff posted in export sheds to give proper examination orders while assessing/examining such goods. As the drawback payable varies according to the nickel content of the goods falling under sub. sl. No. 732301, benefit of the same cannot be extended unless the goods are tested and test report is available. Therefore the general trade, exporter/CHAs are requested to cooperate with export staff in drawal of samples/testing of samples in the case of such goods where benefit of Dbk sub.sl. No. 732301 is claimed and in all such similar cases where drawback payable is dependent upon % constituent of a material in export goods. (SANJEEV BEHARI) COMMISSIONER ( X )
