Issues: Whether exemption under Notification No. 158/95-Customs could be denied and customs duty demanded merely because the re-export of re-imported goods occurred beyond six months without obtaining extension of time.
Analysis: The goods were admittedly re-imported, repaired, and re-exported, and the dispute was confined to the lapse of not seeking extension of the re-export period. The relevant date for applying the notification was treated with reference to actual clearance, and the Tribunal held that the goods had in fact been re-exported within one year. Since customs duty is chargeable on goods imported into India for home consumption, and the goods were not retained for consumption in India, denial of exemption only for failure to obtain formal extension was held to be unsustainable. The extension requirement was treated as procedural in the facts of the case, and at most a penalty could arise for non-compliance with the condition.
Conclusion: Denial of exemption was not justified and the demand of customs duty was unsustainable; the issue was answered in favour of the assessee.
Final Conclusion: The impugned order was set aside and the appeal was allowed.
Ratio Decidendi: Where re-imported goods are admittedly repaired and re-exported, exemption under the governing notification cannot be denied merely for non-obtaining of extension of the re-export period when the lapse is procedural and the goods were not consumed in India.
