Issues: Whether the demand for customs duty on imported bluetooth wireless headsets and similar devices could be sustained only for the normal period of limitation, whether the extended period of limitation and penalty were liable to be set aside, and whether interest required fresh determination.
Analysis: The goods were treated as classifiable under CTI 8518 30 00 in line with the earlier Tribunal decision on identical products. The extended period under section 28(4) of the Customs Act, 1962 could not be invoked merely because the importer adopted a different classification view, as suppression must be accompanied by intent to evade duty. Demand attributable to the normal period was therefore maintainable, while the portion beyond the normal period could not survive. Since the basis for penalty under section 114A was the same as the basis for invoking the extended period, the penalty was not sustainable. The quantification of interest under section 28AA required determination by the adjudicating authority after segregating the demand between the normal and extended periods.
Conclusion: The demand was upheld only to the extent falling within the normal period of limitation, the extended-period demand and penalty were set aside, and the matter was remitted for determination of interest.
Ratio Decidendi: For invoking the extended period of limitation under the Customs Act, 1962, suppression of facts must be shown to be with intent to evade duty, and where that foundation fails, penalty under section 114A cannot be sustained.
