CUS CIR NO. 103/2003 DATE 09/12/2003

Dutiability of Coke Breeze generated in the process of manufacturing of Pig iron/steel through COREX technology-regarding.

I am directed to say that notification No. 21/2002-Cus. dated 1.3.2002 (sl. no. 71) levied concessional rate of duty on metallurgical coke imported for manufacture of Pig Iron/Steel using blast furnace. Notification No. 69/2000-Cus. dated 19.5.2000 exempted such metallurgical coke from anti-dumping duty. The above notifications were amended by Notification Nos. 4/2003-Cus & 5/2003-Cus both dated 3.1.2003 to extend the concession to metallurgical coke even in cases where pig iron/steel is manufactured by COREX technology.

2. In view of this, Circular No. 56/2003-Cus dated 27.6.2003 will also apply w.e.f. 3.1.2003 mutatis mutandis, to coke breeze generated during the process of charging metallurgical coke used for making pig iron/steel using COREX technology.

3. This may be brought to the notice of all concerned.

4. Please acknowledge receipt of this circular.
