The Additional Commissioner argued that non-compliance with Rule 6 implies non-compliance with conditions of Notification No.67/95-CE. However, the Tribunal found no evidence of the appellants failing to meet obligations under Rule 6, concluding that they are eligible for exemption under the notification.Exemption eligibility under Notification No.67/95-CE:The Tribunal, after considering submissions from both sides and reviewing records, noted that under Rule 6(6) of CCR, certain provisions do not apply when goods are cleared without duty payment under Notification No.6/2006-CE.
