Government Amends Notification for Import Duty on Capital Goods for Micro-Electronics Manufacturing Under Customs Act Section 25(1)

The Central Government has amended Notification No. 56/88-Customs, originally issued on March 1, 1988, concerning specified capital goods needed for manufacturing micro-electronic components. Exercising powers under section 25(1) of the Customs Act, 1962, the amendment replaces items 24 and 25 in the notification's annexed table. The new entries specify "Wafer Scriber or Wafer Slicer or Wafer Sawing Machine or Wafer Fractures or any combination thereof" for item 24, and "Die Bonders or Wire Bonders or combination thereof" for item 25. This amendment is considered necessary in the public interest.
