Import Facilitation Schemes
Project Imports
Advisory Services
The Project Imports framework allows import of machinery, equipment, and related components required for the establishment or expansion of industrial projects under a single concessional customs duty rate. The scheme simplifies the import process for large-scale infrastructure, manufacturing, and industrial development projects.
By consolidating multiple imported items under one project classification, businesses can benefit from simplified customs procedures and concessional duty rates, helping reduce the cost of setting up new industrial facilities.
However, project import registrations involve detailed documentation, project classification approvals, and compliance with customs regulations. Businesses often require expert advisory to ensure proper registration and smooth import clearance.
Shangrila Corporate Services Pvt Ltd provides structured advisory to help companies obtain project import registrations, manage documentation requirements, and ensure compliance with applicable customs regulations.
Overview
What are Project Imports?
The Project Imports Scheme allows import of plant, machinery, equipment, and related components required for approved industrial or infrastructure projects under a single customs tariff classification.
Instead of classifying each imported component separately, the project imports mechanism allows consolidated assessment under a specific tariff heading, simplifying customs procedures.
The scheme is administered under customs regulations and operates in coordination with India's trade policy framework overseen by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade and customs authorities.
