rity of Quick Lime is 86% Calcium Oxide (Cao) content and purity of Slacked Lime is 86% Calcium Hydroxide.; Normally Quick lime and slaked lime are classified under Chapter 2522 and the applicable GST Rate is 5%. CBEC Authority for Advance Rulings, in the Ruling No. AAR/02(CE)/2007 dated 30/08/2007 under paragraph 11.1. stated that,-
1. Quick Lime which is a less pure form of calcium oxide is used in building for white washing etc And the purer versions of quicklime with higher concentrations of calcium oxide find more sophisticated uses in steel making, manufacture of chemicals, etc
2. Quicklime which is more akin to mineral product lime, in a relatively crude form will merit classification under chapter 25, whereas the purer versions containing higher concentration of calcium oxide would get classified as metal oxide under chapter 28
The Applicant has stated that quicklime of low purity (Below 70% Calcium Oxide content) and Slacked Lime which is of low purity (Below 70% Calcium Hy

es. They have also stated that their Products would fall under the Chapter 28. They subsequently submitted copies of Purchase Order and Invoices with Lab Reports of M/s. Kaycee Industrial Chemicals Private Limited, wherein the Applicant is the Managing Director, the Applicant is going to start sales of hydrated lime from Tuticorin Lime and Chemical Industries shortly. They also submitted Brief description of manufacturing process.
4.1 Documents submitted were verified. The manufacturing process involves they heat (Calcination) Lime Stone which is Calcium Carbonate (CaCo3) in the lime kiln; Limestone decomposes into Quick Lime which is Calcium Oxide (Cao) and Carbon dioxide (Co2). This product contains 70 to 90% Calcium Oxide content and this is known as Quick Lime or Burnt Lime, and it is in lump form. The balance material is un-burnt Calcium Carbonate. This Quicklime is sprayed with water to give Slaked Lime, which contains Calcium Hydroxide (Ca (OH) 2), which is in powder form. This

ct lime in the crude state and would therefore merit classification as a metal oxide under 28259090 of chapter 28
5.1 The issue to be decided is the classification of Quicklime having 86% Calcium oxide content and Slaked lime having 86% Calcium Hydroxide content and the applicable rate under GST.
5.2 In terms of explanation (iii) and (iv) to Notification No. 1/2017 -Central Tax (Rate) dt. 28-06-2017, tariff heading, sub-heading, heading and chapter shall mean respectively a tariff item, sub-heading, heading and chapter as specified in the First Schedule to the Customs Tariff Act, 1975 and the Rules for the interpretation of the First Schedule to the Customs Tariff Act, 1975, including the Section and Chapter Notes and the General Explanatory Notes of the First Schedule shall be applied for the interpretation and classification of goods. The Customs Tariff is aligned with HSN. In the above referred ruling, the discussion is based on Excise Tariff which is also aligned with HSN and the

hich may be slaked with water.
The heading excludes purified calcium oxide and calcium hydroxide (heading 28.25).
From the above, it is seen that Quick lime is obtained by calcination of limestone i.e. calcium carbonate giving calcium oxide and carbon dioxide and when it is further combined with water, it produces slaked lime which is calcium hydroxide. Quick lime is used for building purposes such as white washing, whereas slaked lime is used in soil improvement and in plasters. However, purified calcium oxide and purified calcium hydroxide is excluded from 2822.
Chapter 28 of Section VI of Customs Tariff covers Inorganic Chemicals, Organic or Inorganic Compounds of Precious Metals, Of Rare-Earth Metals, Of Radioactive Elements or of Isotopes.
Chapter 2825 covers Hydrazine and Hydroxylamine and Their Inorganic Salts; Other Inorganic Bases, Other Metal Oxides, Hydroxides and Peroxides. CTH 28259040 covers Calcium Hydroxide and CTH 28259090 covers others.

ce to wear.
Calcium peroxide (CaO2) is a white or yellowish powder, hydrated (usually with 8 H20), sparingly soluble in water. Used as a bactericide and as a detergent, in medicine and in the preparation of cosmetics.
Quicklime (calcium oxide) and slaked lime (calcium hydroxide) are excluded (heading 25.22).
According to Wikipedia, Calcium Oxide is in manufacturing of cement, paper, and high-grade steel, for medicinal purpose and insecticides. Calcium Hydroxide is used in food, paper industry and in water and sewage treatment plant. It is seen that purified forms of calcium oxide and calcium hydroxide having industrial applications with high purity, which is the case in hand here, are covered under CTH 28259090 for calcium oxide and CTH 28259040 for calcium hydroxide.
5.4 Applying the above, to the case at hand, we find from the manufacturing process and the requirement of the intended buyers, that the goods to be supplied is industrial grade Calcium Hydroxide of high purity of 86%

by a foreign supplier which is cleared to Domestic Tariff Area (DTA) customer in India would result in supply subject to levy under sub section 1 of section 5 of the IGST Act 2017 or under the provisions of CGST Act, 2017 or Tamil Nadu GST Act, 2017 and the rules made there under.
2. Whether the foreign supplier being the applicant, located outside the taxable territory and supplying goods to DTA customers on the goods stored in third party FTWZ unit is required to get registered under the IGST ACT 2017 or under the provisions or CGST ACT 2017 or the Tamil Nadu Goods and Service Tax Act, 2017 and the Rules made thereunder:
2.1 Sadesa has informed that they are contemplating to make supplies to its Indian customers on just in time basis. Towards this, they are exploring the option of entering into a service agreement with a Logistics Service Provider ('LSP'), for clearance /handling of goods from customs and for storage of goods in the warehousing unit of the LSP situated in a

ustomers in India of Sadesa on need basis. Sadesa would place a purchase order for import of goods (i.e. tanned bovine leather) from Sadesa Group (entities situated in Thailand, Argentina & Uruguay) to India (Chennai). Based on the said PO, Sadesa Group would export goods to India by mentioning M/s. Sadesa Macau c/o LSP as “Shipping address” in all export documents including export invoice. Prior to arrival of goods in the customs port, Sadesa would intimate the LSP in Chennai and on arrival of goods, the FTWZ unit of LSP would file 'BOE' in the name of M/s. LSP, on account of M/s. Sadesa Macau and the trans-shipment permission is stamped on the fifth copy of the 'BOE', along with other relevant documents and clear goods without payment of customs duty. Such goods are stored in the FTWZ unit on behalf of Sadesa Macau. The title to the goods stored in FTWZ unit remains with Sadesa during storage.
2.4 The Applicant has also informed that they would identify customers and

s 2007 and the same is continued under the GST regime. As per Section 7(2) of IGST Act, sale through FTWZ units should be considered as interstate supply. However, as per proviso to Section 5(1) of IGST Act, imported goods would be subject to IGST at the point where Customs duty is levied, in this case clearance from FTWZ to DTA which is import of such goods. They stated that if there is no levy of GST on such supplies, they are not liable for registration as per Section 23(1) of CGST Act. The Applicant has stated that there is no clarity on the taxability of sale from the Applicant through FTWZ units to the DTA customers, hence SADESA has sought Advance ruling to clarify the same.
3. The Authorized Representative of the Applicant was personally heard. They stated that the goods will be imported by LSP in the FTWZ. LSP is a unit of FTWZ. However, title of goods do not change and it remains with the Applicant. The Applicant submitted a flow chart of various transactions. They stated th

and pays the appropriate BCD and IGST. The invoice price is paid to the applicant by the DTA purchaser.
4.1 Chapter 7A of the Foreign Trade Policy 2015-2020 states that Free Trade 8s Warehousing Zones (FTWZ) are a special category of Special Economic Zones with a focus on trading and warehousing. The scheme envisages duty free import of all goods (except prohibited items, arms and ammunitions, hazardous wastes and SCOMET items) for ware housing. As far as bond towards customs duty on import is concerned, the units would be subject to similar provisions as are applicable to units in SEZs. These goods shall also be permitted to be sold in the DTA on payment of customs duties as applicable on the date of such sale. Payment of duty will become due only when goods are sold/delivered to DTA and no interest will be charged as in the case of bonded warehouses. In the present case, the applicant is storing the imported goods in FTWZ which is a Customs bonded warehouse. Now, the applicant has

payable on such supplies and buyer will also pay the deferred customs duty at the time of clearance of goods from the warehouse. It has been represented that in this scenario, the buyer is being saddled with double taxation.
2. Kind attention is drawn towards sub-section (2) of section 7 of the Integrated Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017 (hereinafter referred to as the “IGST Act”) whereby supply of goods imported into the territory of India, till they cross the customs frontiers of India, is treated as a supply of goods in the course of inter-State trade or commerce. Further, proviso to sub-section (1) of section 5 of the IGST Act provides that integrated tax on goods imported into India would be levied and collected in accordance with the provisions of section 3 of the Customs Tariff Act, 1975 (hereinafter referred to as the “CTA”). Thus, in case of supply of such warehoused goods the point of levy would be the point at which duty is collected under section 12 of the Customs Act, 19

upply of warehoused goods within the Customs bonded warehouse as 'no supply' under Schedule III of the CGST Act, 2017 so as to ensure that no integrated tax is paid at the time of supply of warehoused goods by the importer to the buyer. Since the amendment of the law would take time, it is proposed that such intention/ decision of the GST Council may be effected through a circular.
5. In view of the above, it is proposed that Circular No. 46/2017-Customs dated 24.11.2017 may be rescinded and a fresh circular may be issued clarifying that supply of warehoused goods before their clearance from the warehouse would not be subject to levy of integrated tax and the same would be collected only when the warehoused goods are cleared for home consumption from the customs bonded warehouse. This clarification would be applicable from 1st of April, 2018. Accordingly, a draft circular as at Annexure-I is placed for approval of the GST Council.
Accordingly, Circular No.3/1/2018-IGST dated 25th May

while being deposited in a customs bonded warehouse on or after 01.04.2018.
4.3 From the foregoing, it is evident that removal from the FTWZ to DTA is the point of deferred levy/payment of Customs Duty, i.e., at the time of clearance for home consumption from FTWZ. Further, as explained in the Circular referred above, the goods are not to be subjected to IGST when bonded and the payment of integrated tax is to be effected when the goods are removed for home consumption from the bonded warehouse, under the Provisions of Customs Tariff Act. Therefore, there is no requirement to pay IGST under the provisions of GST law at the time of clearance from the FTWZ. In the case at hand, the Applicant proposes to effect sale when the goods are bonded and then DTA customer files Bill of Entry for Home Consumption and clears the goods from the FTWZ on payment of appropriate Custom duties (BCD & IGST). Therefore, as clarified in the Circular No.3/ 1/2018-IGST dated 25th May 2018, the payment of IGST

2. Whether the Circular No. 46/2017 is applicable to the present factual situation?
The Applicant has submitted the copy of application in Form GST ARA – 01 and also submitted a copy of Challan evidencing payment of application fees of Rs. 5,000/- each under sub-rule (1) of Rule 104 of CGST rules 2017 and SGST Rules 2017.
2. BNSI have informed that they procure gold/silver from Bank's London branch ('BNSL') and supply the same to its customers in India. In order to undertake the said transaction, at present, BNSI files the Bill of Entry ('BoE') for import of gold/silver into India and stores the same in the vaults in India. The gold/ silver stored in vaults in India remains the property of the Bank and are under the legal possession of BNSL. The gold/ silver is withdrawn from the supplied quantity by BNSI and sold to customers in India.

a. Under the present option, BNSI files a BoE for import of gold/ silver into India;
b. The gold/ silver is stored in an FTWZ unit in India on account of BNSL, and the charges for storage are borne by BNSL;
c. Once BNSI receives an order for purchase of gold/ silver from customer in India, BNSI places an order/ requisition on BNSL;
d. The gold/ silver is then removed from the FTWZ unit and supplied to BNSI;
e. Subsequently, the gold/ silver is sold to customers in India by BNSL
2.3 The Applicant has submitted that FTWZ is a special category of Special Economic Zone as per Section 2(Za) of SEZ ACT, 2005. As per proviso to Rule 8 of CGST rules 2017, SEZ/FTWZ unit and Domestic Tariff Area (DTA) unit of BSNI will obtain separate GST Registrations and the units would be treated as distinct persons under CGST Act. Hence, the transaction of transfer of goods from FTWZ to DTA unit of BSNI can fall within the ambit of supply. Further as per circular 46

the goods are supplied by one entity to another while the goods are still in the warehouse, the said supply continues to be a part of import transaction and should be liable to tax only once at the time when the goods are cleared for home consumption and duties of Customs are collected under the Customs Act. The Applicant has submitted that levy of IGST twice in such a situation would completely defeat the purpose of introduction of GST and is completely unwarranted.
2.4 The Applicant is of the view that removal of goods from FTWZ unit to a DTA unit of BNSI should not be subject to IGST under the Section 5 read with Section 7(2) of the IGST Act.
3. The Authorized Representative of the Applicant was personally heard in the matter . They stated that there are several proposed supplies involved for BSNL, BSNI and FTWZ.
