Customs valuation: written importer consent permits value enhancement without issuing a speaking order, subject to written grounds and hearing. Rule 10A empowers officials to question declared import values, request further information, and-at the importer's request-provide written grounds for doubt and a reasonable opportunity to be heard before finalizing valuation. The Board clarifies that a speaking order need not be issued where value enhancement is made with the importer's consent, provided that consent is obtained in writing to guard against later allegations of arbitrary enhancement, while maintaining documentation of reasons for adjustments.
