Section 12 of the Customs Act, provides that duties of Customs shall be levied at such rate as may be specified under the Customs Tariff Act, 1975 ('CETA') on goods imported into and exported from India. Further, Section 2 of CETA provides that duties of Customs shall be levied at the rate specified in the first and the second schedule. Accordingly,Schedule I provides rate of Import duty and Schedule II provides for export duties. Export duty can be leveid only the goods which are specified in the Second schedule to CETA. Export schedule does not cover a large number of product as are covered under the import schedule. Also, nearly all the products specified in the Second schedule are exempted from payment of export duty. Since the description of the products, as provided by you, are not covered under the export tariff i.e. the second schedule to CETA, no duty thereupon will be levied at the time of there export.
