What is "Crossing the customs frontiers of india"? Please explain in layman language...

Answer / abhivirthi tax and industrial

Section 2(ab) of Central Sales Tax Act 1956 states that ‘Crossing Customs Frontiers of India’ means crossing the limits of the area of a customs station in which imported goods or export goods are ordinarily kept before clearance by customs authorities.

Customs Station and Customs Authorities have same meaning as per Customs Act.

Customs Station means customs port (for vessels), customs airport (for aircrafts) or land customs station (for trucks or motor vehicles).

Central Government is authorised to specify such places. Within such customs port, ‘Customs Area’ is specified by Customs Authorities where imported goods or export goods are ordinarily kept by customs authorities.

Relevance of this provision is that documents of title can be transferred immediately after goods are entrusted to carrier after obtaining clearance from Customs authorities for export. It is not necessary to wait till the ship/aircraft actually leaves India.

In simple the the place where goods were kept or stored before export and the place where goods were kept or stored after import is called Customs Area and crossing of goods through that area is called “Crossing Customs Frontiers of India”
