A dash (—) is not the same as a hyphen. The dash, or a pair of dashes, lets you interrupt a sentence to add emphasis with additional information. Use dashes lightly or you risk creating a breathless, overly informal style. Use a dash to emphasize an example, a definition, or a contrast. Two of the strongest animals in the jungle—the elephant and gorilla—are vegetarians. Two of the strongest animals in the jungle are vegetarians—the elephant and gorilla. 1. Use the ellipsis to show that you have deleted words or sentences from a passage you are quoting.

Use quotation marks to set off words used for emphasis or a definition. The proposed “tax reform” is really nonsense. (4) Semicolon – to use semicolons safely you need to satisfy two criteria: The statements separated by the semicolons could stand alone as separate sentences. The topics mentioned in the two statements are closely related. For example: The large oak frame houses the striking train of gears; these parts have been painted black and are the early parts of the clock. Semicolons can often seem less curt than a full stop and can also be used to separate the items in a list. A semicolon is a comma and period combined, like this (;). The semicolon’s structure shows you that the semicolon is a hybrid of a comma and a period. It’s a stronger stop than a comma but not as strong as a period. 1.

It is recognized that the method of valuation provided for in rule 7(3) would normally not be applicable when, as a result of the further processing, the imported goods lose their identity. However there can be instances where, although the identity of the imported goods is lost, the value added by the processing can be determined accurately without unreasonable difficulty. On the other hand, there can also be instances where the imported goods maintain their identity but form such a minor element in the goods sold in the country of importation that the use of this valuation method would be unjustified. In view of the above, each situation of this type must be considered on a case-by-case basis. (b) In such determination, due allowance shall be made for the value added by processing and the deductions provided for in items (i) to (iii) of sub-rule (1). Interpretation as per bangud 1 Though the transaction value of the imported goods or identical or similar goods is not ascertainable, but the goods are sold in india after importation. 2 the sale in india should be in same condition as they are imported. 3 the sale are made at or about the time at which declaration for determination of value is presented, or at the earliest date after importation but within a max 90 days after import of the goods to be valued. Method of valuation and computation 5 Any sale in India, as described in paragraph 1 above to a person who supplies directly or indirectly free of charge or at reduced cost for use in connection with the production and sale for export of the imported goods any of the elements specified in rule10(l)(b), should not be taken into account in establishing the unit price for the purposes of rule 7.
