Enhancement of value - old and used worn clothing, completely fumigated - Confiscation - The Tribunal referred to a previous case where it was observed that Section 111(m) should not be invoked if proceedings initiated against imports commenced before the filing of bills of entry. Confiscation under Section 111(d) was deemed appropriate for the import of restricted goods without the necessary import license. Considering various issues and submissions, and the failure to comply with certain directions in a remand, the Tribunal upheld the confiscation but reduced the redemption fine and penalty.
