Power to Make Rules for Denaturing or Mutilation of Goods. –
The
Central Government may make rules for permitting at the request of the owner
the denaturing or mutilation of imported goods which are ordinarily used for
more than one purpose so as to render them unfit for one or more of such
purposes; and where any goods are so denatured or mutilated they shall be
chargeable to duty at such rate as would be applicable if the goods had been
imported in the denatured or mutilated form.
