The CESTAT allowed the appeal, setting aside the order of confiscation and the redemption fine in respect of seized consignments of black pepper, dry peas and dry khajur, concluding that none were "notified goods" and that the Revenue failed to discharge the statutory burden of proving smuggling or foreign origin; testing reports were inconclusive.
