Appellate jurisdiction is not excluded merely because an article is recovered from an international passenger at an airport. The exclusion for goods imported or exported as baggage applies only where the challenged order clearly and unambiguously concerns goods having that character. A gold kada worn on a passenger's wrist could not, at the preliminary stage, conclusively be treated as baggage; whether it was a personal ornament, bona fide personal effect, declarable article, or concealed goods required merits examination. Departmental characterisation cannot determine jurisdiction, and authorities involving goods recovered from luggage or admitted baggage are distinguishable. The appeal was therefore maintainable and listed for disposal on merits.
