CESTAT addressed a dispute regarding melamine import valuation from Chinese origin. The tribunal found no evidence of deliberate undervaluation or misdeclaration by the importer. The revenue department failed to substantiate claims of over-invoicing or evasion of anti-dumping duty. Published price data and mere suspicion were deemed insufficient to challenge the declared transaction value. The tribunal emphasized that proof of misdeclaration requires direct evidence, which was absent in this case. Consequently, the reimposition of anti-dumping duty was deemed unsubstantiated and illegal. The revenue's appeal was dismissed, upholding the original declared value of imported melamine.
