Basic Customs duty but for this exemption= Rs. 10/-

Basic Customs duty because of this exemption= Rs. 5/-

Value for the purposes of calculation of additional duty = Rs. 100/- + Rs. 5/- = Rs. 105/-

Additional duty= 20% of Rs. 105/- = Rs. 21/-.

Total duty payable after this exemption= Rs. 5/- + Rs. 21/- = Rs 26/-.
