CESTAT allowed the appeal and set aside the adjudicating order that directed recovery of differential customs duty with interest and imposition of penalties. The Tribunal held that valuation for additional duty under s.3(1) of the Customs Tariff Act must conform to customs valuation rules and that re-determination based on post-import list prices was impermissible.
