Valuation of export goods - overvaluation - a careful reading of the orders of the lower adjudicating authorities indicate that there is mis-declaration of the value of the export goods thereby contravening the provisions of the Customs Act and Rules made thereunder. So, we cannot find fault with the orders of the original adjudicating authority in holding the goods liable for confiscation under Section 113(h), (i) and (ia) of the Customs Act, 1962 or for imposition of penalty under Section 114 (iii) of the Act ibid. - AT
