<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure> Kolkata: The finance ministry<\/a> has clarified that routers will continue to enjoy zero import duty<\/a> status, allaying concerns among telecom operators about the crit<\/a>ical IT and network<\/a> communications<\/a> device attracting basic customs duty<\/a> (BCD) from this month and, in turn, pushing up 4G<\/a> network expansion costs and hitting 5G<\/a> deployments.

“A finance ministry notification, dated December 30, has assigned a new harmonised system (HS) code (No: 8517 62 90) for routers to continue their zero
customs<\/a> duty status,” said a senior executive with direct knowledge of the matter. ET has seen a copy of the notification issued by the revenue department.

An HS code is a multipurpose international goods nomenclature used as the basis of customs tariffs. It also defines a product for the purpose of international trade.

Telcos had urged the finance ministry to clear the air on whether routers would attract BCD after the government reclassified the device under the Finance Act (No. 2), 2019, and the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs last month set January 1, 2020 as the implementation date for new clauses.

Phone companies had warned that imposition of BCD on routers would have also flouted India’s obligations to the World Trade Organization because routers are among 200-odd items under the Information Technology Agreement (ITA)-1of WTO on which signatories, including India, have pledged to eliminate customs duties.

Since telcos import routers in bulk from global vendors such as Cisco Systems and Juniper Networks, they had recently voiced concerns as the finance ministry had not specified the new HS codes for continuing duty-free import of routers following the reclassification. This had triggered uncertainty over future purchases and associated import costs of these
devices<\/a> for procurements from overseas vendors.

Rajan Mathews, director general of the Cellular Operators Association of India (COAI), which represents India’s telcos and overseas network vendors, had said routers were a critical link to the country’s digital communications infrastructure.

He had also urged the finance ministry to maintain the sanctity of ITA-1and ensure routers remained exempted from BCD since India is a signatory to the WTO pact. Any potential imposition of BCD on routers, he had said, would hurt telcos and have significant financial implications on timely implementation of Digital India programme.\n\n
