The value for the purposes of levy of special excise duty shall be, in case of goods imported, the value determined in accordance with section 25 of the Customs Act, 1969 (IV of 1969) for the purpose of assessing customs duty; and in case of goods produced or manufactured, the value determined under sub-section (1) or as the case may be sub-section (4) of section 12 of the Federal Excise Act, 2005, excluding the amount of excise duty levied under section 3 of the said Act.

The special excise duty and such duty shall be paid, in case of goods imported, in the same manner as customs duty is paid by an importer under the Customs Act, 1969 (IV of 1969); and in case of goods produced or manufactured, in the same manner as Federal excise duty is paid by a producer or manufacturer under the Federal Excise Act, 2005.
