Import of old and used parts of plate leveler machines - requirement of possession of valid licence for import - The goods are admittedly of ‘1942 vintage’ and it is seen that paragraph 2.31 of the Foreign Trade Policy restricts ‘second hand goods other than capital goods’ and, as it is not the case of customs authorities that these are not ‘capital goods’, the impugned goods would be freely importable. Consequently, confiscation under section 111(d) of Customs Act, 1962 lacks authority of law. - AT
