CESTAT adjudicated a dispute regarding refund claim for exported iron ore fines, focusing on valuation methodology. The tribunal determined that transaction value must be derived from load port test report as per contractual terms and Circular No. 12/2014-Customs. The appellate authority held that refund cannot be rejected without challenging original assessment orders.
