Transit Duties
A transit duty is a tax imposed on a commodity crossing the national frontier
originating from, and destined for, other countries.
(ii) With reference to the basis for quantification of the tariff, we may have the
following threefold classification:
Specific Duties
A specific duty is a flat sum per physical unit of the commodity imported or
exported, thus a specific import duty is a fixed amount of duty levied upon each
unit of the commodity imported.
Ad-Valorem Duties
Ad-valorem duties are levied as a fixed percentage of the value of commodity
imported/exported. Thus, while the specific duty is based on the quantum of
commodity imported/exported, the ad-valorem duty is based on the value of the
commodity imported/exported.
