Goods imported for display in Exhibition etc
ANOTHER notification, aged 27 years, has bitten the dust. Notification 3/89-Cus dated January 9, 1989 exempted the goods imported for display / demonstration in a trade / industrial fair / exhibition etc. Obviously, 'procedural' notifications like this one could not have survived for so long but it is a miracle that it did with the last minimalist amendment in December 1999. Perhaps, the Government felt that the time is ripe to replace it with a notification that is all-encompassing, more peppy, forward looking, and easy to follow. The new notification enlarges the scope and relaxes some conditions when an importer gets the goods for the purposes notified.
Did the Auto Expo 2016 have a role to play?
