Notifications Customs

The Central Government amended Notification No. 19/2019-Customs regarding defense equipment imports by MoD and defense forces. The amendment modifies entries against serial numbers 10-13 by expanding the scope to include Chapter 93 alongside existing chapters, removes standalone "Ammunition" reference, and introduces a new category specifically for ammunitions related to previously specified goods. The changes, exercised under Section 25(1) of Customs Act 1962 and Section 3(12) of Customs Tariff Act 1975, aim to rationalize customs duty exemptions for defense-related imports. The notification becomes effective from February 2, 2025, demonstrating the government's continued support for defense procurement through targeted customs duty relief.
