Customs valuation of imported High Pressure Laminate Sheets could not be enhanced where the redetermination relied substantially on a retracted statement and invoices of alleged contemporaneous imports that were not shown to be comparable. The tribunal found no acceptable supporting evidence beyond the retracted statement, and the relied-upon invoice described different goods. In the absence of reliable material to reject the declared value, the enhancement was unsustainable and the impugned valuation order was set aside.
