[yujin kim]

Dear sir

We import machine from 2006 till now 2-3 machine below IGCR scheme.

We didn't do IGCR return any one time.

Is this return compulsory? if yes, how can we file the return? by online or physically visit the IGCR office / officer something?

What's the meaning of IGCR.  Please Explain.

IGCR (Import goods consessional rate).

Total payable customs duty is 25.85% at the moment. (Full duty)

Customs Calculation(Full duty)
0	Assessable Value		200.00
1	BCD (Basic customs Duty)	7.50%	15.00	215.00	N/A
2	CVD (Countervailing Excise Duty=Additional customs duty)	12.00%	25.80		refundable
3	EDU Cess (Education cess on Customs Duty)	0.00%	0.00		refundable
4	HE Cess (Higher Education Cess)	0.00%	0.00	40.80	refundable
5	Customs Education Cess	2.00%	0.82		N/A
6	SH Custom Cess (Secondary and higher education cess)	1.00%	0.41	242.02	N/A
7	ADD Duty Import (Special Additional Duty on customs duty) =SAD=Special Countervailing Duty)	4.00%	9.68		refundable
	total		251.70	51.70
			25.85%
	refundable		17.74%	35.48
	N/A		8.11%	16.22

 

Buf if we apply for IGCR license, then we don't have to pay full duty.

 

Customs Calculation(IGCR)
0	Invoice Value		200.00
1	BCD	0.00%	0.00	200.00
2	CVD	0.00%	0.00
3	EDU Cess	0.00%	0.00
4	HE Cess	1.00%	0.00	0.00
5	Custem EDU Cess	2.00%	0.00
6	SH Custom Cess	1.00%	0.00	200.00
7	ADD Duty Import	4.00%	8.00
	total		208.00	8.00
			4.000%
			4.00%	8.00
			0.00%	0.00

BCD is 0%.

so payable customs duty is only 4%.

 

Because of this benefit, we cannot sell or shift to outside for 5 years.

For 5 years IGCR return is neccessary or not yearly one time?

I cannot find this rule from internet,

so read about RAM, and visit to IGCR officer in Pune, central excise department.

As per his reply, closing procedure is not require about imported machine or material through IGCR.

But IGCR Return is require. But he say no any specific due date.

confused whether we should file the return or not. if yes, which kind of document is require.

Right now online payment and return is common, Why only this kind of return should be done physically..

I don't understand .
