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. Applying the reasoning adopted for a connected live consignment with the same modus operandi and evidence, the Tribunal classified Pakistan-origin goods under CTH 98060000 pursuant to Notification No. 05/2019-Customs, rather than the claimed brass-scrap heading. The resulting differential duty, interest and penalties were sustained, and the appeals were dismissed.
