BORN IN INDIA I SERVED FROM INDIA I TO THE GLOBE
Dated: 11.10.2022
Customs Valuation Proceedings- Special Valuation Branch (SVB)
It has been lately observed that lot of Indian importers who are a “Related Party” as per Rule 2(2) of the CVR, 2007, are facing enormous challenges in getting their SVB proceedings completed, and Investigation Reports (IR) issued.
In reference to the above we hereby suggest few key points for a smooth sail through the SVB proceeding:
Who all are exempted from SVB:
As per CBIC Boards Circular 05/2016 dtd 09th February 2016 the Customs board has exempted the following types of importers from any sort of SVB proceedings-
- Import of samples and prototypes from related sellers
- Imports from related sellers where duty chargeable (inclu additional duty of customs etc) is unconditionally fully exempted or NIL
- Any transaction where the value of the imported goods is less than INR 1 Lakh (One Lakh/One Hundred Thousand) but cumulatively these transactions do not exceed INR 25 Lakhs (Twenty Five Lakhs/Twenty Five Hundred Thousand) in any financial year
Counter to delays in SVB Proceedings:
- Refer to clause 8.2 in Circular 05/2016 which clearly refers to the timeline the SVB division is supposed to adhere to. It is envisaged as only 2 months to complete the Investigation from the date of Receipt of Annexure-B, the SVB division shall seek the approval of the jurisdictional commissioner for such extended time period as is deemed necessary to complete investigations.
- However, where investigations are not completed within 4 months from the date of receipt of information in Annexure-B, the matter shall be submitted before the Chief Commissioner for extension of period as is deemed fit.
- For Provisional Assessment matters please refer to Circular No. 38 /2016-Customs dtd 22nd August 2016 & amended circular numbers Circular 42/2020, dated 29.09.2020 and Circular 19/2021, dated 16.08.2021 respectively
