IMPORT OF AMATEUR RADIO COMMUNICATION EQUIPMENT BY HAMS




IMPORTS:

Government of India, Ministry of Commerce, had placed long ago, the import of Amateur Radio Communication Equipment by licenced Amateur Radio Operators. Under Open General Licence (O.G.L.) Open General Licence itself a licence and all the items covered by it do not require any import licence from the Import Licensing Authorities for their imports. These have subsequently been brought under their imports. These have subsequently been brought under “Free Importability Clause” in the Exim Policy which also does not require any import licence from the Import Licensing authorities, doing away with the erstwhile term O.G.L.


Ministry of Commerce announces the Import-Export Policy, every year, applicable from 1st April to 31st March. The new exim policy announced on 31-03-2000 for the year 2000-2001 continues to allow these equipments under Free Importability Clause, when imported by licensed Amateur Radio Operator.
II IMPORT (CUSTOMS) DUTY:
Government of India, Ministry of Finance announces Customs Tariff every year in the annual budget. This indicates the amount of Customs Duty payable on the import of various Items. The duty structure includes various segments viz., Basic Duty, Surcharge, Countervailing Duty (CVD) and Special Additional Duty(SADD). Amateur Radio Equipment falls under S.No.852520.04 of the Indian Customs Tariff, and it attracts a Basic Duty of 25% plus surcharge, CVD and SADD. The total of which, works out to 50.8% when imported in the normal course.
However, the Ministry of Finance, has issued a Notification No.16 dated 01-03-2000 which is re-produced in the Indian Customs Tariff. 2000-2001, prescribing the Basic Duty as 5% only, totally granting exemption from CVD on Amateur Radio Equipment when imported by licensed Amateur Radio Operators, subject to the condition No.55 of this Notification. The condition No.55 reads as:-


  1. the total C.I.F. value of the wireless apparatus, accessories and parts imported under this notification does not exceed Seventyfive thousand rupees.




  1. the total value of the parts imported under this exemption does not exceed Rs.1000/-




  1. the importer at the time of clearance, produces a certificate from an Officer not below the rank of an Assistant Wireless Adviser to Government of India in the Ministry of Communication to the effect that the wireless apparatus, accessories and parts in respect of which this exemption is claimed are within the value limits specified above, and also recommending the grant of this exemption.



EXPLANATION:
“ Licensed amateur radio operator”, means a person duly authorized under the Indian Wireless Telegraphs (Amateur Service) Rules, 1978, made under sections 4 & 7 of the Indian Telegraph Act 1985 (13 to 1885).
To obtain this exemption, licensed amateur radio operators have to submit an application in the prescribed form, to the Assistant Wireless Adviser, WPC, New Delhi.

  3. A demand draft for Rs.50/- drawn in favour of P.A.O. (Hqtrs), Dept. of Telecommunications, payable at the service branch of State Bank of India. New Delhi.

This certificate granting exemption from payment of the normal duty is often called by mistake as Import Licence or O.G.L. which is not correct.

The Notification No.16 dated 01-03-2000 also contains a detailed list (i.e. list No.24) of Wireless Apparatus, Accessories and parts which are covered by this exemption.
WIRELESS APPARATUS AND ACCESSORIES:


  1. HF, VHF OR UHF transceiver (combination of transmitter and receiver) meant for amateur frequencies with accessories in assembled or kit form.

III PAYMENT OF SURCHARGE:
Goods falling under customs tariff No.8525.20 are exempted from payment of surcharge as per the Notification No.19 dated 01-03-2000 reproduced in the Indian Customs Tariff 2000-2001.
IV PAYMENT OF SPECIAL ADDITIONAL DUTY (SADD):
There is no exemption from payment of SADD. It is payable @ 4%. This is calculated on the value of goods PLUS Duty Payable, which works out to 4.2% Thus the total duty payable is (5% + 4.2%) 9.2%.
It is advisable that Hams desirous of importing these equipments, accessories and parts may get the position confirmed from the customs authorities before placing orders, to avoid any problems that may be faced at the time of clearance, as they (customs) are the competent authorities to decide this.
