of <h1>Tribunal upholds Order-in-Appeal on polyester fabric value enhancement</h1> The Tribunal dismissed the Revenue's appeal against the Order-in-Appeal by the Commissioner of Customs (Appeals) regarding the enhancement of the value of ... Valuation - rejection of transaction value - Held that: - In the light of the decision of the Supreme Court in Eicher Tractors Ltd. [2000 (11) TMI 139 - SUPREME COURT OF INDIA] case, NIDB is not a valid basis for rejecting the transaction value - appeal dismissed - decided against Revenue. Issues involved:1. Customs valuation - Enhancement of value of imported goods2. Application of Section 17(5) of the Customs Act, 19623. Acceptance of transaction value4. Validity of using NIDB for rejecting transaction valueAnalysis:1. The appeal was filed by the Revenue against the Order-in-Appeal passed by the Commissioner of Customs (Appeals), New Delhi, regarding the enhancement of the value of imported polyester knitted fabrics from China. The Customs authorities had increased the declared value in the Bills of Entry, leading to a dispute over the duty payable by the importer.2. The Customs Act, 1962 requires the assessing group to issue a speaking order under Section 17(5) when enhancing the declared value of imported goods. In this case, the Commissioner (Appeals) set aside the enhancement, citing the decision of the Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of Eicher Tractors Ltd., emphasizing the necessity of a specific reason in the form of a speaking order for any value enhancement.3. The Revenue contended that the importer had accepted the enhanced value before the consignment was cleared, arguing that the value enhancement was based on contemporaneous import prices available in NIDB. However, the Tribunal held that the reliance on NIDB for rejecting the transaction value was not valid, as per the precedent set by the Supreme Court in the Eicher Tractors Ltd. case.4. Ultimately, the Tribunal found no merit in the Revenue's appeal, leading to its dismissal. The decision was based on the principles established in previous case law and the specific requirements outlined in the Customs Act, emphasizing the importance of providing a valid basis for any enhancement of the declared value of imported goods.
