If such spare parts were not declared at time of travelling to foreign country by the engineers of your company, then your company will not get the export benefits.  I presume that these spareparts were carried by the engineers of your company as trade samples in their baggages.  Further, the HOB Vol. 1 para 2.31 has been amended w.e.f. 14-05-2011 and you may check with your export promotion councils with whom you are registered.

For vat exemption you would have to submit either Shipping Bill (EP) Copy or BRC.
