Impex # 5 Questions & Answers

Q. : If an exporter has not been able to mention the option of claiming RoDTEP in shipping bills in respect of
the past transactions, what should he do now?

Answer : It is mandatory for the exporters to indicate in their Shipping Bill whether or not they intend to claim
RoDTEP on the export items. It has been categorically specified by the CBIC that, if RODTEPY is not specifically
claimed in the Shipping Bill, no RoDTEP would accrue to the exporter.
