Raise a captive consumption invoice (removal without payment of duty for other purpose). Repack / relabel and bring it to FG, reflect the transaction in ER1.

Dear Sir

Product is Ayurvedic medicine 3004.90.11

[KASTURI SETHI]

Chapter/Heading 3004 is covered under Third Schedule to Central Excise Act, 1944. Re-packing is a manufacturing process under Section 2(f)(iii) of Central Excise Act,1944.

DEAR KASTURI SETHI Sir

Thanks for your valuable reply

This is the case that Manufacturer has been declared the Goods Manufactured for Export. We have found some mistakes in Label of the Products.So only the solution is repacking of the same goods with a new label.Can we revise the ER1 or let me know the excise effect for repacking

[KASTURI SETHI]

As per Rule 12 (8)(a) of CE Rules, 2002 ER.1 return can be revised by the end of calendar month in which original return is filed. So there is time limit for submitting revised return. Re-packing is a manufacturing process(exscisable). The total cost of this process must be taken into account for arriving at transaction value of the final product for proper payment of CE duty. Procedure has already been advised by Sh.Ramaswamy Sir. I am talking about correct payment of duty on final product ( including the total cost repacking).

Captive consumption is exempted because of payment of duty on final product. The value of repacking is to be taken into account for correct payment of duty.

Have you crossed the time limit for filing revised ER-1 return ?

Ayurvedic medicaments falling under chapter 30 are valued under MRP based valuation. As such, no other cost to be included. The ED is payable on MRP less 35% abatement.

Yes.I agree with Sh.S. Ramaswamy Sir. The value of repacking has to be taken case of while declaring MRP.

Dear Querist,. Though the goods may be for export, yet correct CE duty has to be calculated on ARE-1.

LM (PC) Rules, 2011 read with amended in 2015 Rules would also be applicable.
