LEVY OF, AND EXEMPTION FROM, CUSTOMS DUTIES


The Central Government may
make rules for permitting at the request of the owner the denaturing or mutilation of imported goods
which are ordinarily used for more than one purpose so as to render them unfit for one or more of such
purposes; and where any goods are so denatured or mutilated they shall be chargeable to duty at such rate
as would be applicable if the goods had been imported in the denatured or mutilated form.
