PUBLIC NOTICE NO. 01 /2014-EXP/HQR
SUB: Furnishing of undertaking alongwith duty drawback claim.
Duty Drawback (Customs Rebate) is allowed on export of goods in terms of Section 21 of the Customs Act. 1969 at the rates specified through notifications issued from time to time by FBR. While notifying the rate of duty drawback, the percentage (%age) is worked out keeping in view the statutory rate of customs duty payable on imported inputs consumed in goods to the exported.
2. It has been observed that despite the fact that certain exporters had imported inputs under any Free Trade Agreement (FTA) or concessionary SRO like SRO 565(I)/2006 dated 05.06.2006, SRO 655(I)/2006 dated 05.06.2006 etc., even then they claim duty drawback on export of the goods which is legally not admissible and contrary to provisions of law resulting in double monetary benefit i.e. both at the time of import as well as export.
3. To curb the aforementioned practice, it is hereby required from all claimants of duty drawback (Rebate) that while filing rebate claim with the Customs, they will have to submit an undertaking on the format prescribed and attached with this Public Notice stating therein that they have not claimed any concessionary SRO on imports used in the exported goods. The said undertaking shall be submitted and scanned in the computerized system alongwith all other documents mentioned in Standing Order No. 01/2014/Exp-HQ dated 18.08.2014 while tiling a claim. In case undertaking is not found attached with the claim at the time of its processing, it will not be entertained and further processed. It is further informed that if undertaking of any claimant is found false or misstated at the time of sanction of rebate claim or at the time of post rebate audit, not only the amount claimed will be recovered but penal action under section 32(1) and (2) of the Customs Act, 1969 will also be initiated against the claimant.
4. This Public Notice shall be applicable on all claims filed on or after 10.10.2014.
