The government today hiked the tariff value on import of gold to $403 per 10 gram and silver to $510 per kg.

For the first fortnight of this month, the import tariff value on gold was fixed at $363 per 10 gram and on silver was $443 per kg.

The import tariff value is the base price at which the customs duty is determined to prevent under-invoicing. It is normally revised on a fortnightly basis.

The change in tariff value of these precious metals has been notified by the Central Board of Excise and Customs.

The import tariff value of gold and silver has been changed taking into account the price trend in the global market and rupee situation.

Globally, gold sank 1.9 per cent to $1,214.68 an ounce and silver lost 2.7 per cent to $15.31 an ounce in Singapore today.
