Country-of-origin misdeclaration was established for brass-scrap imports declared as originating in the UAE. Matching container and seal details, together with evidence that the goods were loaded at Karachi and remained in the same containers through Jebel Ali, supported Pakistan as the true origin.

The resulting differential duty, interest and penalties were sustained, and the appeals were dismissed.
