Transaction value remains the primary customs valuation basis and cannot be rejected solely because the declared price appears low. Rule 12 requires reasonable doubt supported by evidence; NIDB data alone was insufficient where the Department did not establish undervaluation, additional consideration, flow-back, or comparability of alleged contemporaneous imports by quantity, commercial level, manufacturer, branding, quality or specifications.
