Valuation of imported goods - used office furniture - rejection of declared value - Admittedly, the imported goods were used goods/equipment and not new equipment, as observed in the Inspection Report.

Hence, the lower authority has clearly erred in solely relying on the said inspection report, which is of no evidentiary value. - AT
