Imported embroidery threads were re-valued on the basis of the full transaction value because supplementary invoices and admitted extra payments showed that part of the price had been kept outside the banking channel. The absence of comparable import data did not defeat the demand, since the undervaluation was supported by the appellants' own documents and admissions. The Tribunal sustained the differential customs duty after re-determining the assessable value under the valuation rules, and upheld penalties on both the importer and its Director because the same evidence established suppression and wilful misstatement.
