            Sub. : Valuation Trend of Import of Zip Fasteners (CTH 9607)-reg.

                                -----------------------------------------------------------------------

     Attention of all Custom House Agents, Importers, Exporters, Shipping Agents, Members of Regional Advisory Committees and Members of the Trade is invited to the fact that several representations have been  received by the Directorate General of Valuation, Central Board of Excise & Customs, New Delhi alleging undervalued importation of zip fasteners from China. It has been noticed by the Department that the importers importing Zip Fasteners generally do not declare full information relevant for valuation such as (i) material of make (polyester, nylon, aluminium, brass etc.) and   (ii) size (length and width) of Zip Fasteners. It is also noticed that different Unit Quantity Codes (YDS, PCS, DOZ, SET, NOS etc.) are being declared in respect of individual consignments.

                  In view of the facts that the Zip Fasteners are quite sensitive, it has been decided that the Importers importing Zip Fasteners should:

(i)                 incorporate the material of make of Zip Fasteners (polyester, nylon, aluminium or brass) in the import documents filed by them with the Department and the material shall be test verified before its clearance,

(ii)               incorporate the size and other specifications of Zip Fasteners in the import documents and the data captured on that basis,

(iii)             declare the net weight of the consignment in Kg. despite whatever UQC (doz., grs., nos., pieces etc.) declared by them in the import documents.

           All the Trade Associations/Chamber of Commerce/Members of Regional Advisory Committees and Custom House Agents’ Association are requested to publicize the contents of this Public Notice among their members/constituents. Difficulties, if any, in implementation of the above instructions may be brought to the notice of this office.

 

Encl:  As above.
