What Is DTA?
The full form DTA is “Domestic Tariff Area”, the term DTA is normally used by the trade-in exported goods, imported goods, or locally procuring/manufacturing goods wherein any kind of duty is involved.
For example, each EOU or STP unit has a Customs Bonded Warehouse which is treated as Customs Bonded Area.
If you want to move goods in or out of the said warehouse you need to get permission from customs/excise.
Such goods procured locally or imported attract duty amounts.
These units would have imported/procured such goods based on export obligations with the government.
If a unit under EOU or STP fulfilled such export obligation and achieved value addition, the authorities may permit the unit to sell dutiable goods to the local market.
If you obtain any goods duty-free under any government scheme, you can sell the final products to the domestic tariff area, once after fulfilling your export obligation with the government licensing authority.
So once after completion of the export obligation, EOU units or STP units sell dutiable goods to Domestic Tariff Area (DTA) by obtaining permission from the customs/excise authorities.
