Excise Duty on Export goods, Central Excise

[Asa Dev]

Dear Sir,

We have an export contract on CIF UK Port basis. While making excise invoice, we have shown excise duty on CIF value. Now the excise department raised objection and asked us to charge duty on FOB value. Since there is no bifercation of CIF value, how can we arrive the FOB Value? OR is there any option to charge Duty on CIF value. We charge duty on export goods and apply for rebate. Your kind suggestion / advice shall be appreciated.

With regards

Excise duty is to be charged on FOB value only and not on CIF value. u r required to arrive at fob value from cif value by deducting actual or appxt freight and insurance value.trust this clarifies ur reqmts

By applying the reverse caculation (Actual freight or 20% of the FOB Value whichever is less and insurance 0.125%) you may arrive at the FOB Value for calculation of Liability under  Central Excise Duty.

the objection raised is correct. u have no option to pay duty on CIF value. u may arrive at the FOB value as suggested above. the excess duty paid will be paid back in cenvat credit account. strictly speaking, even the FOB value is not the proper value. it is the factory gate price which reflects the Section 4 value, as per Board's instructions in the matter, on which the rebate has to be computed.

The excise duty should be charged on basic/FOB value of your product. You can take it from your sales department either from PO given to the client or from the sales order raised by the sales department. You can also refer the calculation given by Mr Khatri.
