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. Continuous cast copper rods could therefore be imported duty-free where linked to the Engineering Products group, but not merely because they bore nexus to one of several groups covered by a certificate. Extended limitation and customs penalties require intent to evade duty through fraud, collusion, wilful misstatement or suppression. 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.
