CESTAT held that customs duty under section 14 of the Customs Act can be determined based on transaction value reflected in invoices retrieved from importer's email account, even when different invoice was filed with Bill of Entry. The Larger Bench rejected the Division Bench's earlier ruling that emails found in importer's private capacity cannot substantiate mis-declaration cases. Court reasoned that Customs Act and 2007 Valuation Rules permit proper officer to consider email invoices for verification under section 46, and after rejecting declared transaction value, re-determination can proceed through rules 4-9. Since identical/similar goods' transaction values can be considered, email invoices for same consignment hold greater relevance. Appeals remanded to Division Bench for merit-based adjudication.
