Customs - Exemption to Goods Imported for Relief Operations in Ladakh
GOVERNMENT has exempted all goods imported by the Lille Fro Foundation and intended for donation to the Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Council for the purposes of the relief operations in the Ladakh region, from the whole of the Customs Duty and Additional Duty of Customs.
The exemption is as usual subject to conditions:
++ The importer certifies that the goods are intended for such donation without making any charge.
++ The importer produces before the Deputy Commissioner or the Assistant Commissioner of Customs, as the case maybe, within six months from the date of importation of the said goods or within such extended period as the said officer may allow, but not later than one year from the date of importation, a certificate from the Chief Executive Officer of Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Council that the said goods have been donated to the Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Council for use for the aforesaid purpose.
God Forbid, if they forget to produce the certificate – all the might and power of the Customs will befall on them – after ten years.
The Hospitals which imported some medical equipment under Notification No. 64/1988 are now doing the rounds in the corridors of the Tribunals and High Courts.
