In our view, it is the supplier responsibility to issue a credit note. Further,if such reimbursement is incorporated in the agreement then no customs duty will be paid by you on such receipt.

Many thanks Sirs for guidance

One point is not clear- Why there will be customs duty on compensation amount (towards detention cost of container beyond 5 days free time). Based on Shipping Line's claims, Foreign exporter will issue credit note on Indian importer and remit the amount by TT mode. Here how Customs Dept will fit in to . They will not come to know about this commercial decision. there could be income tax / GSt issue -that you may please guide me. Rgds
