In India, customs duty is generally levied on the total value of the goods imported, not on individual items. So, you would pay customs duty on the entire carton of 12 bottles, not on each individual bottle. However, specific rules and rates may vary depending on the value of the goods and other factors.

We pay excise duty for both types of goods.

Thinking of exporting Indian mustard oil? I’m planning to do the same, and need some clarity on the taxes and subsidies involved. Could you tell me: What’s the current Excise Duty on Mustard Oil (HS code 15149120)? Are there any subsidies available for exporting mustard oil? When calculating my costs, should I include Excise Duty? Is it possible to get a refund on the Excise Duty paid? If I receive a subsidy, should it be considered profit?

I received a ₹25,000 penalty for an excise matter back in 2007. I appealed against it, but haven’t heard anything from the court since. Now, I have a hearing on October 20th. If I don’t attend, will my appeal be rejected? If so, would I only have to pay the ₹25,000 penalty, or would there be interest added on top? I’m not very familiar with legal matters, so any guidance would be appreciated.

I got a call from someone claiming to be from Delhi customs saying Nelly was carrying a lot of money and I could be in trouble because I know him. They asked for ₹45,000 to clear things up. Scared, I paid ₹25,000 into the account they gave me. Now I’m really worried. Please help!
