CESTAT allowed the appeal, finding the Assessing Officer's re-assessment of imported goods' value unlawful. The tribunal held that neither Customs Act nor Valuation Rules permit "loading of value" by the Assessing Officer.

The Commissioner's (Appeals) order upholding the re-assessment was consequently set aside, with the original Bill of Entry assessment reinstated.
