Q.5 (a) Explain briefly safeguard duty levied under Customs Act, 1962.
(3 Marks)
Sol. Safeguard duty is a duty paid on import of goods into India. This is levied on goods imported
into India, when such goods are already manufactured in India, but the costs are higher as
compared to import prices. It is levied to ensure that the Indian manufacturers don’t suffer
owing to import of cheaper goods from outside and therefore aims to create a level playing
field for the Indian manufacturers and importers, thereby with the intent of safeguarding the
National interest. The main difference with Anti-dumping duty being, while the Anti-dumping
duty prevents the predatory pricing measures / discriminatory pricing, that could be unfair for
the local goods and markets, Safeguard duties promote enabling a fair ground for the local
manufacturers.

goods, only when such identical goods are sold at the same commercial level, and these
goods are substantially the same quantity as the goods being valued. TV of goods exported
would be based on the transaction value of the goods of like kind and quality exported at or
about the same time to the same destination country, or in absence, another destination
country. In applying this rule, if more than one transaction value of identical goods is found,
the lowest such value shall be used to determine the value of imported goods.
Similar Goods for Imports and Computed Value Method for Exports [Rule 5] :
The TV for Imported Goods would be based on that of the similar goods (i.e., like
characteristics & country of production). The TV of goods exported, would be taken at
computed value, i.e., Cost of Production + Charges for design/brand + Reasonable profit.

the factory. The price of the machine as per the original agreement was 15,000 USD
and the machine was shipped on 1st Jan. 2018. While the machine was in transit,
ABC Ltd. India persuaded the exporter to grant a discount of 10% on the original
price and the agreement was fianlised on 20th Jan. 2018. The machine reached
Chennai port on 15th Feb., 2018. The assessing authorities calculated the assessable
value on the basis of original price. ABC Ltd., approach you for suitable advice. Do
you agree with the action of assessing authorities ? Give reference of decided court
case, if any.
(5 Marks)
Sol. The stand taken by the Customs Authorities is factually incorrect and can be challenged
under the Law. The basic reason is that the Transaction Value is considered at the time and
place of importation. Hence, it was contended that the Import is complete only when the
Goods become a part of the Country. Here, in the present case, the price was mutually
revised while the Goods were still in transit. Hence, the revised price could be considered
for arriving at the Assessable Value and the same was also enunciated under the case law :
Gujarat Heavy Chemicals v. Commissioner of Customs, Ahmedabad 2004.
