In their voluntary statements, senior management employees and domestic suppliers of Oppo India admitted to having submitted a wrongful description to the Customs Authorities at the time of import.

    Besides, Oppo India was found to have paid Royalty and License Fees to various multinational companies, including those based in China, in return for use of proprietary technology/brand/IPR, according to the anti-smuggling arm of the Central Board of Indirect Taxes & Customs. In violation of Section 14 of the Customs Act, 1962, read with Rule 10 of the Customs Valuation (Determination of Value of Imported Goods) Rules 2007, Oppo India’s Royalty and Licence Fees were not included in the transaction value of the goods imported by them. On this account, Oppo India allegedly evaded duty by INR 1,408 crores.

Oppo India was served with a show cause notice after the investigation was completed, demanding customs duty of INR 4,389 crore.
