Tribunal rules in favor of appellant overturning initial order, emphasizing need for proper documentation
The Tribunal overturned the decision of the adjudicating authority, ruling in favor of the appellant on both issues. The appellant's argument that without a BIS report, it could not be definitively established that the batteries did not meet ISO specifications was accepted. Additionally, the Tribunal found insufficient evidence to support the claim that the goods were manufactured in China rather than Malaysia, emphasizing the importance of proper documentation and certificates of origin. Consequently, the initial order for re-export and penalties was set aside, and the case was remanded for further review.
Issues: 1. Nature of the battery - whether the batteries imported are as per ISO-9128 specifications. 2. Country of origin - whether the goods were manufactured in China or Malaysia.
Nature of the Battery: The appellant imported 'Zinc Chloride Heavy Duty AA Battery,' and the Customs department suspected misdeclaration. Representative samples were sent to ERTL(W), Mumbai, for verification. The adjudicating authority held the batteries as prohibited goods, ordering re-export, and imposing a redemption fine and penalty. The appellant challenged the order, arguing that without a BIS report, it couldn't be conclusively proven that the batteries did not meet ISO specifications. The Tribunal agreed, emphasizing the lack of conclusive evidence from BIS. The matter was remanded for a fresh order.
Country of Origin: Regarding the country of origin, the appellant claimed the goods were from Malaysia, supported by the stamp 'made in Malaysia.' The department suspected China as the origin based on internet research. However, the High Commission of India, Singapore, did not confirm this. The Tribunal noted that relying solely on internet sources was insufficient. It highlighted that the goods' documents and certificate of origin indicated Malaysia. The Tribunal found no conclusive evidence to support the confiscation based on the country of origin. As a result, the impugned order was set aside, and the matter was remanded for a fresh adjudication.
