CESTAT allowed the appeal and set aside the impugned order that had revised assessable value by rejecting the declared transaction value under rule 12 of the Customs Valuation Rules.

The assessment based on such proxy methodology was quashed, the challenged revision of assessable value was vacated, and the importers' declared transaction value was consequently upheld.
