Advanced Authorisation Licence

Advanced Authorisation Licence

This app in ERPNext helps manage Advance Authorisation Licences, which exempt import duties on raw materials for manufacturing export products. The app ensures that licenses are not overutilized for imports and exports, preventing penalties and loss of duty drawback benefits. The user can create and utilize licenses, and the system calculates remaining quantities and amounts for each declared item.

Introduction

Advance Authorisation Scheme (AAS) or Advance License Scheme is a type of duty exemption scheme introduced by the Government of India under the Foreign Trade Policy 2015-2020. Under this scheme, exemption from the payment of import duties is given to raw materials/inputs required for the manufacture of export products i.e., you can import raw materials/inputs at zero customs duty for the production of export products. The purpose of this scheme is to make India’s products competitive in the global market. When duties paid on raw materials are saved, it automatically brings down the cost of the final export product.

Why do you Need this App in ERPNext

  • You have to declare the Export quantity and amount you will do against Advance authorisation license through which you will get benefit of Import duties. So for Each license the export and import quantity and amount are predefined. So there are two challenges:

For Imports

Import

You can not duty free import of declared items beyond approved quantity and amount. If you by mistake over utilize the license at time of import, you may attract penalties at any future date, when the mistake is caught by the department.

For Exports

export

When you do export against Advance authorization license you forgo the Duty draw back benefit against that export consignment. So while you must do the export of declared qty and value, doing export more than declared value means you will loose on duty drawback benefit for access amount.

  • So when you do import against Advance authorization license, the challenge is you have to ensure you do not use license this license beyond approved amount for import to avoid penalties. Same way for export if you do more exports then required against license you end up loosing duty drawback benefit. We tried to solve this challenge, through this App in ERPNext to make management of Advance authorization license error free with minimal efforts.
