Assessable value for Customs duty purposes is determined as follows:-
(FOB value + Freight actual or 20% of FOB if freight is not known + Insurance actual or 1.125% of FOB Value) * (Exchange Rate as declared by CBEC at the time of filing of Bill of Entry for import) = Indian Rupee value + 1% towards landing charges = total derived is the assessable value for dury purposes.
Weight of machine is not relevant for determining the duty.
Based on the Chartered Engineer's Valuation certificate the second hand machine value is also held as the FOB and not merely based on the invoice value.
Should there be supplemenatries please feel free to raise them.

A question from Barman.....
If you have no reply of this query then what is the need to write it?
Author raises query with hope to see replies and not the incapability of expert to reply. It is better not to reply instead of posting that I don't have idea. Who has gone personally to you to ask whether you know its reply or not? If no reply, keep quite.
