Chairman’s Pen

My dear fellow exporters,

The empowered committee on VAT has decided to postpone the phase out the Central SalesTax (CST) to April 2007 due to non-agreement over certain monetary issues. Earlier thephase out was expected to begun from 1st October, 2006. This mean that the double burdenof VAT and CST will continue to bother the entire industry and make Indian goods lesscompetitive in the international market. This is a great setback and your Council willrepresent this issue at appropriate level.

India’s merchandise export continued to move on a high growth track in August 2006,registering an increase of 41.14% to US$ 10.3 billion compared to US$ 7.35 billion in August2005. Exports during April-August 2006 are valued at US$ 48 billion which is 34.48% higherthan the level of US$ 35.75 billion exported in the corresponding period last year.

With a view of finalizing India’s position on a proposed free trade pact with Bimstec nations,the Government has initiated consultations with the domestic industry to identify non-tariffbarriers and their impact on the country’s exports to the region. The commerce ministryhas sought comments from exporters and other stakeholders on whether NTBs in form oftechnical norms, sanitary standards, certification and procedural needs imposed by thecountries are becoming obstacle for the growth of India’s exports to the region.

EXIM Bank has concluded an agreement with the Government of Niger, making availableto the latter a Line of Credit up to an aggregate sum of US$ 17 million. This credit is availablefor financing of export of goods and services from India. This will be a very positive stepfor those who are trying to penetrate into the African region.

I extend my hearty greetings to all of you on the joyous occasion of Navratri and DurgaPuja. May the ushering season bring immense joy into your life.

Yours sincerely,

(RAKESH SHAH)

for 2006 growth is 3.0%. However, CPIincreased to 127.3 in 2005 from 124.6 in2004 due to higher energy prices. Theinflation rate is about 2.9%.

Brief Economic ReviewThe Canadian economy is the eighth largest in the world, behindthe US, Japan, Germany, the UK, France, Italy and China. It ishighly integrated with the US economy, which absorbed 81% ofits exports and was the source of 67% of its imports in 2005. MostCanadians live in a narrow strip (160 km wide) north of the USborder, making them sensitive to the threat of US economic andcultural domination. Almost 70% of Canadians are English-speakers;15% speak only French but these form a majority in Quebec,Canada’s second-largest and second most populous province.

The federal corporate income tax rate is 21%. The federal corporatesurtax of 4% will be eliminated for all businesses by 2008.Provincial governments charge corporate tax at rates between10% and 16%. Merchandise exports on a balance-of-paymentsbasis rose by 5.7% year on year to C$ 454 bn (US$ 375 bn) in 2005as growth in the US economy remained strong and bilateral tradewith China soared. Merchandise imports rose by 6.6% to C$ 387 bn.The merchandise trade surplus rose slightly to C$ 66.7 bn in 2005from C$ 66.1 bn in 2004. 40% of GDP comes from exports ofgoods and services. Canadian economy is services oriented as itforms 69.5%, the industry covers 28.9 of GDP and the Agriculturehas 2.1% of the GDP.

Major trading partners of Canada are (% share) :

1. US (88.1) 2. Japan (2.0) 3. UK (1.2) 4. China (1.0)Exports include automobile manufacturing, pulp and paper, ironand steel work, machinery and equipment manufacturing, mining,extraction of fossil fuels, forestry and agriculture. Canada’s leadingexports are automobile vehicles and parts, machinery and equipment,high-technology products, oil, natural gas, metals, and forest andfarm products. The industry is struggling with weak exports dueto the strong loonie, the rising cost of raw materials and softeningdemand. Labour costs are also eating into profits, as unionizedand retired workers are costing more each year in wages andhealth care costs, leaving domestic producers like GM and Fordless competitive than Toyota, Honda or other manufacturers thatassemble cars in countries with lower labour costs.

Introduction to Local MarketsCanada is the eighth largest vehicle producer in the world. The autosector is Canada’s biggest contributor to manufacturing GrossDomestic Product (GDP) and supports jobs in 13 assembly plants,over 540 parts manufacturers, 3900 dealerships and many other relatedindustries. The Canadian automotive sector is highly competitive,accounting for 4.5% of total world production and a global trade surplusin finished vehicles of more than US$ 29 billion. This accounts for63% of Canada’s 2002 global trade surplus of US$ 46.2 billion.

The auto industry is Canada’s largest manufacturing industry. Forthe automotive original equipment supply industry, sales in 2003were US$ 34 billion from a high of US$ 36 billion in 2000. Thisis consistent with results of the 2002 calendar year but a declineof a lower percentage than that experienced by vehicle assemblersand is due to the fact that 2/3 of Canadian parts production isdirectly exported. Nevertheless, substantial vehicle assembly plantinvestment is required in Canada for the automotive original equip-ment supply industry to prosper because suppliers who are closestto vehicle assembly plants have the best opportunity to acquiremore business. Recent announcements made by Ford of Canada alongwith the Federal and Ontario Government’s are very encouraging.

Canada’s auto and auto parts sector is a good news-bad news story.Weak sales in Canada and the United States are leading to produc-tion cuts at all of the Big Three automakers in Canada. The strongCanadian dollar will also continue to weaken exports over thenear term. But the Big Three are still investing billions to enableprocesses such as flexible manufacturing. And Toyota is buildinga whole new assembly plant in Woodstock, Ontario, as well as anew parts plant. Overall, therefore, sector profits will recover thisyear from the plunge they took last year, and then continue climbingto reach US$ 3.6 billion in 2007. From 2008 to 2010, profit marginswill stabilize at about 3 per cent, with margins for parts producersslightly higher than those for assemblers. Profits will range betweenUS$ 3.6 billion and US$ 5.2 billion, significantly lower than at theend of the 1990s.

The automotive parts market in Canada, valued at US$ 30.7 billionin 2001, increased 6.8 per cent to US$ 32.4 billion in 2002. Thevalue of this sector is projected to reach nearly US$ 41 billionin 2003, a real growth rate of 6.2 per cent over 2002. (Please note thatthe dramatic rise in the value of the Canadian dollar in early 2003has had a huge impact on the US dollar figures used in the BestProspects reports). According to industry experts, the automotiveparts sector will continue to experience annual real growth rates ofbetween 5-7 per cent over the next few years and will be expandingby over 10 per cent per annum by the end of the decade.

US exports of automotive parts to Canada are expected to keep stepwith the market and expand at an annual real growth rate of around6-7 per cent in the short term. US automotive parts exports toCanada, valued at US$ 23.0 billion in 2001, grew 4 per cent in 2002,

and are expected to expand a further 5 per cent in real terms during2003 to reach US$ 30.2 billion. The Canadian auto industry remainshealthy, despite strong headwinds from a soaring Canadian dollar,and statistics indicate that Canada’s auto sector continues tooutperform its much larger US counterpart.

Canadian vehicle sales rebounded in May 2003 to an annualized1.72 million units, from 1.61 million during the previous fourmonths. Industry experts project that total 2003 vehicle sales inCanada will exceed 1.65 million units. Canadian auto industryshipments - assemblies and parts - climbed a solid 4.5 per centyear-over-year in the first quarter of 2003. Vehicle production isalso holding up well, edging down only 1 per cent from theprevious year.

Following spectacular growth of 8 per cent in 2004, productiongrowth in Canada’s auto and auto parts industry will come to ascreeching halt in 2005, posting a meager 0.1 per cent for the yearand leaving industry profits at US$ 3.6 billion. In 2006, output willgrow by 3 per cent, leading to overall profits of US$ 4.6 billion.From 2007 to 2009, overall profits will range between US$ 4.5billion and US$ 5.3 billion, significantly lower than at the endof the 1990s and in 2000. Profit margins in parts production will behigher than those for assemblers.

EDC’s Trade Opportunities Matrix (TOM) points to some of thesesame high-value sectors - professional and scientific measurementequipment, electrical and electronic products, aerospace products,office and computing equipment and engines and turbines - asbeing good opportunities for Canadian exporters in India. TOM isa piece of intelligent software built on a massive historical sectoraldatabase to rank opportunities in various target export markets.

The Canadian government hopes that much of this investment willtake the form of public-private partnerships, which will meanattracting a lot of foreign investment. This has not been one ofIndia’s strengths in the past - annual inflows of investment havebeen rising in recent years, but still only amounted to US$ 6.7billion in 2005. Canadian investment into India sits at a paltryUS$ 250 million. There is little doubt that participating directlyin the next phase of India’s development will require that foreigninvestors overcome their traditional reluctance to invest there.

Local ManufacturersThe Canadian automotive industry produces light-duty vehicles(cars, vans, sport utility vehicles, pick-up trucks) and heavy-dutyvehicles (trucks, buses, military vehicles) as well as a wide rangeof parts, components and systems for these vehicles. The industryaccounts for 14% of Canada’s manufacturing gross domesticproduct. The major foreign companies with large light-duty vehicleassembly operations in Canada are General Motors, DaimlerChrysler,Ford, CAMI (GM-Suzuki), Honda and Toyota. While some parts andsystems manufacturers are large, 72%, have fewer than 50 employees.In 2001, Canada ranked seventh in world vehicle production,behind the United States, Japan, Germany, France, Spain and SouthKorea. The Harbour and Associates 2001 Report estimates thatCanada is 7% more productive in high-volume vehicle assemblythan the US in terms of employee hours worked. Overall, in 2000,Canada maintained an automotive trade surplus. Total exportswere worth US$ 91.43 billion, while total imports were valuedat US$ 79.20 billion. Specifically, Canada’s trade deficits withJapan, Europe and Mexico were counterbalanced by a US$ 25.9billion surplus with the US.

Imports from India

India is much in the news lately, as it comes into its own as a fullparticipant in the globalization phenomenon. India is rapidlybecoming a serious market for Canadian companies, with goodsexports surpassing the C$ 1 billion mark for the first time in 2005.The top Canadian exports to India were pulp and paper, fertilizer,beans, lentils, and metals. Canadian exports to India were up 20%in 2005, well ahead of our average growth rate across all countriesof around 5%.

This performance sounds spectacular, but India’s total imports roseby 27% in 2005, which indicates that Canada is experiencing asmall loss of share in the Indian market. Indeed, although Canadaships about 4% of total world exports, exporting over our weight giventhat our economy represents only 2% of the world economy,Canada’s share of the Indian market is a modest 0.6%. Althoughthe main Canadian exports to India are resource-based, there isa smaller group of high-value industries where Canadian exportsare growing very rapidly. Such products as navigational, medical,measuring and control instruments; telecom equipment; metal-working machinery; and aerospace products have seen averageannual growth over the past five years in excess of 60%.

Trade BarriersCanada requires bilingual labeling (English and French) for mostproducts. The federal Consumer Packaging and Labeling Act requirebilingual designation of the generic name on most prepackagedconsumer products. The agency responsible for inspection ofimports, Canada Customs and Revenue Agency, also requires anindication of the country of origin, such as “Made in India,” onseveral classes of imported goods. Goods not properly markedcannot be released from Canada Customs until suitably marked.

The Province of Quebec requires that all products sold in thatprovince be labeled in French and that the use of French be givenequal prominence with other languages on any packages orcontainers. The Charter of the French Language requires the use ofFrench on product labeling, warranty certificates, directions for use,public signs and written advertising.

Finally, industry is charged with ensuring that any claims abouta product being “environmentally-friendly” are accurate and incompliance with relevant legislation. In general, environmentalclaims that are ambiguous, misleading or irrelevant, or that cannotbe substantiated, should not be used. In all cases, environmentalclaims should indicate whether they are related to the productitself or to the product’s packaging materials. The Canadiangovernment has issued a set of guiding principles governing theuse of environmental labeling and advertising, which may beobtained by contacting Industry Canada.

Under the provisions of the Canadian Customs tariff regulations,certain items are regulated under the Export and Import PermitsAct and require a permit for importation into Canada. The Act listsvarious agricultural products (poultry, eggs, and dairy products),a number of textile and clothing items, and certain steel products.Inquiries regarding the issuance of import permit and quota allocationsshould be directed to the Department of Foreign Affairs, Exportand Import Controls Bureau in Ottawa. Tel. : 613-996-3711(textiles and clothing); Tel. : 613-995-8358 (steel products);Tel. : 613-995-2744 (agricultural products).



The Canadian government is concerned with protecting itscitizens from faulty or unsafe products. Under the aegis of theStandards Council of Canada (SCC), several private standards-writing organizations administer technical codes and standards forareas ranging from electrical and plumbing products to health-caretechnology. These organizations include : The Canadian StandardsAssociation (CSA), Underwriters Laboratories of Canada (UL),The Canadian General Standards Board, and The Canadian GasAssociation. The Canadian federal government also has numerouscommodity standards to safeguard public welfare. The standardsorganizations try to avoid duplication of responsibility, butthere is some overlap.

Indian manufacturers and exporters should determine what standardsare applicable to their products. If certification is required, itgenerally must be obtained before the goods are imported intoCanada. The process can be time-consuming and, therefore,certification should be one of the first steps taken to establish anexport market in Canada.

With the exception of one special trade zone at the SydportIndustrial Park in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, Canada has no free portsor free trade zones. At present, there are no federal or provinciallaws specifically governing the establishment and operation ofsuch zones. Goods may be cleared at Customs offices on theborder or may be forwarded to a bonded warehouse for storagepending Customs examination and clearance. Goods may besent to a bonded warehouse without the payment of Duty, butmust be cleared either for export or Canadian consumptionwithin two years. Extended periods are allowed for certaingoods. Goods taken from bonded warehouses for consumptionare dutiable at rates of the Customs Tariff in effect at the time,and the value for Duty purposes is the value at the time of entryfor warehousing.

Minor operations such as repackaging and sorting can be carriedout in bonded warehouses with the permission of Canada Customsand Revenue Agency, but assembly or other industrial activityis prohibited.

Canada is a member of the World Trade Organization (WTO) and wasa founding member of its predecessor, the General Agreement onTariffs and Trade (GATT). Canada has also been an active memberof both the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum andthe Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA) negotiation process.

Total 11552.79 15394.24 19183.32

The trend of growth in exports of engineering goods and services over the last three years indicates a steady growth of above 20%. Interms of regional groupings, the most important three markets - NAFTA, EU and ASEAN accounted for more than 47% of the Indianengineering exports. The most important individual market remains the United States, which accounts for more than 14% of the totalexports of engineering products and services from India. The European Union in particular the UK, Germany, France, Belgium andItaly are the most important contributors to the engineering exports basket of India. It is notable that South Africa and Nigeria haveemerged as top destinations in the African markets. Certain important countries of Indian exports that are primarily trading centres forfurther distribution include the UAE and Singapore.

Indian exports have shown a higher year - to - year increase in terms of global market share of engineering exports, however, thisremains a low at about 0.47%. In order to foster the engineering exports growth, the Council continues its endeavour to doubleexports of engineering items from India in next 5 years and to take India’s share in the world engineering close to 1%.

India Engineering Meet and ExhibitionThe Council has been organising the Buyer Seller Meets periodically to benefit its members. Indo-LAC, Afro-India, Euro-India, Indo-ASEAN, Indo-CIS and Indo-NAFTA etc. have been successfully organized by the Council in the recent past.

Public Notice


F. No. 602/9/2005-DBKGovernment of IndiaMinistry of Finance

Department of RevenueCentral Board of Excise & Customs

New Delhi

Circular No. 25/2006-Customs

Dated 19th September, 2006

Computation of Value Addition where some materials are

supplied Free of Cost – Determination of Drawback under

Rule 6 or Rule 7 of Drawback Rules – Reg.

I am directed to invite your attention to the above mentioned

subject and to say that a doubt has been raised as to whether the

value of imported materials supplied ‘free of cost’ by the foreign

buyer should be added to the export value of the goods for the

purpose of calculation of value addition stipulated under Section

75 (1) of the Customs Act, 1962 read with Rule 8 (2) of the

Customs, Central Excise Duties and Service Tax Drawback Rules,

1995 while determining the brand rate of Duty Drawback under

Rule 6 or Rule 7 of the said Rules.

2. Section 75(1) of the Customs Act, 1962 and Rule 8(2) of the

Drawback Rules, 1995 stipulate that no Drawback shall be

determined if the export value of the goods is less than the value

of the imported materials used in the manufacture of such goods.

In this connection, it has been brought to the notice of the Ministry

that in the business of exports sometimes the main raw material is

supplied ‘free of cost’ by the overseas buyer for maintaining the

quality of the final product. In such cases the notional value of

the ‘free of cost’ material is declared to Customs only for the

purpose of payment of Duty and the same is not included in the

export value (FOB value) of the product, the reason being that

no realization takes place for such notional value of ‘free of cost’

material.

3. It has been reported that while calculating value addition in

such cases, the notional value of ‘free of cost’ material is added to

the CIF value of other inputs but not to the FOB value of export

goods. This results in the FOB value of export goods becoming

less than the CIF value of imported materials. As the value addition

works out to be negative the exporters are denied the facility of

Drawback although Duties have been paid on the imported

materials. The trade and industry has represented that in such

cases the notional Customs value of the material supplied ‘free of

cost’ should be added both to the export value (FOB value) of

goods and the CIF value of inputs for the purpose of calculation

of value addition.

4. The matter has been examined by the Ministry. It has been

observed that for the sake of equity the value of the ‘free of cost’

material should be added both to the FOB value of goods and

CIF value of materials or this value should not be added to the

FOB and CIF values at all. If this is done, the value addition in

most of the cases would be positive, entitling the exporters to

avail of the facility of Duty Drawback. However, in terms of

paragraph 4.6 of the Handbook of Procedures, Vol-I of the Foreign

Trade Policy, under advance licensing scheme, where some

materials are supplied free of cost, the value addition is computed

by adding the notional value of ‘free of cost’ material to both the

CIF value of imports and FOB value of exports. Having regard to

this provision and in order to ensure uniformity in the matter, it

has been decided that, for the purpose of calculation of value

addition under brand rate claims, the notional value of imported

materials supplied ‘free of cost’ by the foreign supplier should be

added both to the CIF value of inputs and the FOB value of

export goods.

5. Pending cases may be decided on the basis of above

instructions. A suitable Public Notice and Standing Order may

be issued for the guidance of the trade and staff. Difficulties

faced, if any, in implementation of the Circular may be brought

to the notice of the Board at an early date.
