Import of TV in CKD (unassembled) in parts - rejection of declared value - classification of branded assemblies - Customs Act, 1962 is not a law of morality; nor is it a law of property. It is intended to provide a framework and procedure for asserting the constitutional jurisdiction assigned for levy of duty on imported goods.
