Regarding duty drawback on silk carpets and synthetic carpets
Circular No. 69 dated 28th August 2000
As a part of rationalisation of All Industry Rates
of Duty Drawback, the SS No. 57.01 in Drawback Table, 1999-2000 relating to
Floor Coverings, all sorts, has been trifurcated in the Drawback Table
2000-2001, into Woollen Floor Coverings (SS No. 57.01), Silk Floor Coverings (SS
No. 57.03), and Synthetic Floor Coverings (SS No. 57.04), each having different
drawback rate and drawback cap.
Various field formations and trade organisations
have expressed that such distinct drawback rates for different categories of
floor coverings, entail meticulous examination of the cargo. It has been
represented that mere visual examination is not enough to verify the type of
input material used. It has also been highlighted that considering the
dimensions of the export product and also its value, it is not feasible to draw
sample for testing. It has been mentioned that such peculiar circumstances and
detailed examination to obviate any revenue leakage results in delay of
consignments and drawback claims remain unsettled for long. It, has, therefore,
been requested that some procedure be devised to remove the difficulties.
The issue has been examined in the Ministry. It is
observed that normally there should not be any difficulty in examination of
different kind of carpets. It has, however, been decided that for full proof and
expeditious examination and speedier disbursal of drawback, the field formations
may constitute Expert Panels. Such Panels may have textile experts drawn from
the Department and from the Export Promotion Council/ Trade. Any doubtful cases
may be referred for resolution to such Expert Panels.
