Import of Pets - What is Value?
- 09.04.2013 had reported about the import of pets under baggage. A concerned Netizen asks us as to what would be the value of the pets for clearance under baggage. He says, "A dog of a particular breed may cost more than a lakh. Now the question arises whether the dog will go in the free allowance of Rs.35,000 or charged to duty. The circular is left to the interpretation of every Customs officer!!!!!"
For an owner, the pet is invaluable.
Shouldn't the Board clarify this issue too?
