The Tribunal upheld the duty imposition on a Film Director who failed to provide ... Requirement of Export Certificate for duty-free re-importation of film negatives - burden of proof to establish prior export and discharge of customs duty - importability without licence but subject to customs dutyRequirement of Export Certificate for duty-free re-importation of film negatives - burden of proof to establish prior export and discharge of customs duty - importability without licence but subject to customs duty - Whether the appellant was entitled to duty-free clearance of the returned film negatives in the absence of an Export Certificate or other evidence establishing that the same films had been earlier taken out for shooting and had suffered duty at the first instance. - HELD THAT: - The Tribunal accepted the revenue's submission that although exposed film negatives may be importable without an import licence, they remain liable to customs duty unless the importer establishes entitlement to exemption. The appellant produced no export certificate or other evidence proving that the films received by post were the same films earlier taken out for shooting or that duty had been discharged abroad. The Court held that the best evidence to establish duty-free re-importation is the Export Certificate, and the appellant cannot rely on the contention that officials failed to issue such a certificate in the absence of documentary proof. In view of the absence of any evidence linking the films received with those taken abroad or demonstrating prior payment/exemption of duty, the order imposing duty was justified and required confirmation.Appeal dismissed; impugned order confirming demand of customs duty upheld for want of proof of export or prior duty discharge.Final Conclusion: For lack of an Export Certificate or any evidence proving that the films received were the same films earlier taken abroad and had suffered duty, the Tribunal confirmed the duty demand and dismissed the appeal. The appeal was dismissed by the Appellate Tribunal CEGAT, CHENNAI. The appellant, a Film Director, failed to provide evidence of exporting film to Japan for shooting. Duty was imposed on the film brought back to India without an Export Certificate. The Tribunal upheld the duty imposition as no evidence was presented to support duty exemption.
