Target Plus Scheme requires a broad nexus, not a strict product-to-product nexus, between duty-free imported inputs and exports within the product group specified in the duty credit certificate.

Policy ambiguity, a bona fide exemption understanding, valid uncancelled certificates, and export documents already held in Customs records precluded such findings. The duty demand and consequential penalties were set aside.
