Reply By YAGAY andSUN: The Reply: Based on the details you've provided about the transaction, here's a breakdown of how the sale should be classified under SEZ and Customs regulations: Classification of the Initial Sale by SEZ Unit to Foreign Buyer: * DTA Sale: A DTA (Domestic Tariff Area) sale r .....

In this case, the goods are initially sold to a foreign buyer, not a domestic buyer, so this does not qualify as a DTA sale. * Deemed Export: Deemed export refers to transactions where goods are considered exported under certain circumstances, even if they are not physically shipped out of the country. For a sale to qualify as deemed export, there must typically be a situation where the goods are not consumed in India and are either cleared from the SEZ to a bonded warehouse or used in certain specified ways.

Thus, this scenario does not fall squarely under deemed export. * Physical Export under SEZ and Customs Regulations: A physical export involves goods being shipped out of India to a foreign buyer. In this case, although the foreign buyer retains ownership of the goods and the transaction involves foreign currency, the goods are not physically exported from India. Instead, they are stored in India in a bonded warehouse. Therefore, this should be classified as neither a physical export under SEZ and Customs regulations.

This is because, while the goods remain in India (in a bonded warehouse), they are being temporarily stored for onward sale to an indigenous buyer. The fact that the foreign buyer retains ownership of the goods and the transaction is in foreign currency also supports the Deemed Export classification. However, this may also depend on further specifics, so it's advisable to consult a tax or customs expert for a more tailored and precise interpretation based on your situation.
