Valuation of export goods - rejection of declared value - claim...

Valuation of export goods - rejection of declared value - claim of duty drawback wrongfully - the said concealment was nothing but an afterthought to cover up the mistake which the appellant had already committed i.e. of mis-declaration of the goods and overvaluing them with the sole intention of availing a higher duty drawback. The duty drawback is otherwise not available with respect to the export of old and used goods. These observations are sufficient to hold that the above observed concealment was with the intention to mis-declare and overvalue the goods to claim ineligible duty drawback. - AT
