Commissioner of Custom (Export), New Custom House, IGI Airport, New Delhi. Subject: - Release of pending Duty draw back against 48 shipping bills finalized by Assistant Commissioner (export) Vide Letter No C.No.VIII/12/CRU/ACE/Leo Provisional/ Met Trade/1516/09 Dated 27-04-2010. Dear Sir, We would like inform to that we have exported sputtering target under chapter heading 8543900. However at the time of export our shipment was cleared provisionally due to confirmation from Excise department for right chapter heading and valuation. As per Deputy Commissioner of Central Excise Division Kundli letter No CE-20/Misc-corres 28 R-1K/08/4407 Dated 09-102010 the sputtering targets are part of sputtering machine as these are specially designed to fit specific system and would therefore be classified as part of sputtering machine with which we solely used. The sputtering targets manufactured by Met trade are used in sputtering machine used for coating thin film deposition/metalizing the Jewellary items. These machines are classified under 8543989 as machines having individual function and sputtering target being part of such machine are correctly classified under 8543900 (Copy of letter attached). In view of above letter and direction from Addition Commissioner of Custom (Export) Air Cargo complex to Assistant Commissioner of Custom (export) to finalize the provisional 48 shipping Bills. As per direction/ order of ADC, Assistant Commissioner(Export) issued a letter No C.No VIII/12/CRU/Leo provisional/Met Trade/1516/09 Dated 27.04.2010 to Deputy Commissioner (DBK) for finalization and release of draw back (Copy Enclosed). However after releasing the order we have chased with department for the same but our draw back not released. Further to inform you that in this regards we had a meeting with Additional Commissioner Mr R.C.Sankhla last month before his transferred. He has gone through the documents and advised/directed the drawback section for release of our pending draw back. However even after the direction of ADC till date our draw back from custom not yet released.

This is to inform you that due to delay in releasing the said drawback we are suffering with huge losses on account of interest and blockage of fund. Hence, we solicit your intervention to save us from further losses. We therefore seek an appointment with you, as per your convenient time to discuss the issue, please confirm on Mobile No. 8800890500 and Email:-narender.patni@mtil.in Your kind and favourable reply in this regard would be highly appreciated.

Sincerely Yours For Met Trade India Limited
