This extension will apply to all cut and polished diamonds that should have been re-imported between February 1, 2020, to July 31, 2020, but which could not be brought back due to disruption on account of COVID-19 pandemic situation.
CBIC said, the relief was announced by suitably amending the Notification dated March 9, 2012. The re-import in the extended period would be without payment of Basic Customs Duty and IGST. The facility is available to exporters with average annual export turnover of Rs five crore for the last three years.
The relief is given to those exporters whose graded cut and polished diamonds were stuck abroad as the period of three months, ordinarily allowed for re-import had expired due to pandemic. Many such consignments were also awaiting clearance with Customs.
