Notification No. 12/2025-Customs (ADD) dated May 10, 2025, has been rescinded by Notification No. 25/2026-Customs (ADD).

Where goods are used or supplied contrary to the declared end use, the ADD, differential duty and applicable interest will be recovered, without prejudice to other action under the Customs Act, 1962. The Directorate General of Systems will modify the system declaration and issue the necessary implementation advisory. CBIC Circular No. 16/2025-Customs dated May 11, 2025, stands superseded.
