Successful appeal reduces bank guarantee amount for re-export following High Court judgment.
The appeal was successful as the Tribunal reduced the bank guarantee for re-export from an exorbitant amount to 25% of the duty value, following a Gujarat High Court judgment. The appellant was required to provide a bank guarantee of Rs. 1,29,00,000 (25% of duty) and execute a bond for 100% of the goods' value, resulting in the appeal being allowed under these conditions.
Issues: Provisional release order subject to bond and bank guarantee conditions, Mis-declaration of goods, Technical characteristics of the product, Quantum of bank guarantee for re-export
Analysis: The appeal was against a provisional release order by the Commissioner of Customs Kandla, which required a bond for 100% value of goods and a bank guarantee for 50% of the value. The appellant contested the mis-declaration accusation, arguing that the goods were correctly declared as base oil. The appellant requested retesting of all parameters, citing technical definitions under the Customs Tariff Act and Indian standards. The appellant also sought re-export of the goods without impact on customs duty, offering a bank guarantee of 25% of the duty amount based on a Gujarat High Court precedent.
The Revenue representative highlighted a Tribunal order directing provisional release based on suitable bond and bank guarantee conditions. The Tribunal found the merit issue debatable due to technical product characteristics, noting discrepancies in testing against IS specifications. However, the Tribunal refrained from making observations on the case's merit at that stage. Regarding the bank guarantee for re-export, the Tribunal considered the neutralization of custom duty upon re-export and deemed the Commissioner's amount as exorbitant. Citing a Gujarat High Court judgment, the Tribunal reduced the bank guarantee to 25% of the duty amount, requiring the appellant to furnish a bank guarantee of Rs. 1,29,00,000 (25% of duty) and execute a bond for 100% of the goods' value, ultimately allowing the appeal in those terms.
