Over 100 containers of parboiled rice meant for exports have been held up in Chennai port in a dispute over the payment of 20 per cent export duty which came into effect on August 25.
The dispute over the payment continues despite a clarification from the Department of Revenue, Ministry of Finance, on September 6 that export duty will not be applicable to goods that have entered the port or the container freight station before 10.49 p.m on August 25.
