of <h1>Demurrage Charges Excluded from Customs Valuation: Tribunal Upholds Legal Precedent, Dismisses Revenue's Appeal.</h1> <h3>C.C. AHMEDABAD Versus RELIANCE INDUSTRIES LIMITED And C.C. JAMNAGAR (PREV) Versus RELIANCE INDUSTRIES LIMITED</h3> C.C. AHMEDABAD Versus RELIANCE INDUSTRIES LIMITED And C.C. JAMNAGAR (PREV) Versus RELIANCE INDUSTRIES LIMITED - TMI Issues involved: Whether ship demurrage charges paid by the respondent are liable to be included in the transaction value of imported goods.Summary:The Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Ahmedabad considered the issue of including demurrage charges in the value of imported goods for customs duty assessment. The Revenue argued that a previous judgment by the Orissa High Court was not applicable due to jurisdictional issues and cited a different case to support their position. On the other hand, the Respondent relied on the Orissa High Court judgment and a Tribunal decision in a similar case. The Tribunal examined the arguments and reviewed the Orissa High Court judgment, which held that demurrage charges cannot be included in the transaction value of imported goods. The Tribunal found that the explanation added to the Custom Valuation Rules was ultra vires to the Customs Act, rendering the Revenue's case baseless. Citing judicial discipline, the Tribunal upheld the Commissioner's order and dismissed the Revenue's appeal, following the Orissa High Court judgment and a previous Tribunal decision.This judgment clarifies the treatment of demurrage charges in the valuation of imported goods for customs duty assessment, emphasizing the importance of legal principles and precedents in such matters.
