Issues: Whether the export consignments were misdeclared as iron oxide instead of iron ore concentrate, and whether the adjudication could rely on an adverse laboratory letter not supplied to the exporter.
Analysis: The available test reports recorded that the samples were composed of iron oxide, including a later report showing iron oxide content of 97.84%. The only contrary basis used against the exporter was a later CRCL communication treating the sample as iron ore concentrate on the footing of iron content below 70%. That adverse material was not furnished to the exporter and was not part of the show cause notice record. In these circumstances, the finding of misdeclaration could not be sustained, and the declared classification of the export goods was held to be supported by the facts.
Conclusion: The allegation of misdeclaration failed, and the impugned orders were set aside in favour of the assessee.
Final Conclusion: The export goods were accepted as iron oxide, the allegation under the customs confiscation provision was not established, and the appeal succeeded.
Ratio Decidendi: An adverse report not disclosed to the party cannot be used to sustain a finding of misdeclaration, especially where the contemporaneous test reports support the declared nature of the goods.
