Regulation 10(a): the broker's authorization requirement was satisfied where an authorization letter from the importer's agent authorized clearance; reliance on a statement under s.108 was impermissible without following s.138B, so no breach found - authorization upheld. Regulation 10(d): alleged failure to notify customs about lithium-battery markings rested solely on an unreliable s.108 statement absent s.138B compliance, so the charge fails. Regulation 10(e): alleged lack of due diligence based on the same inadmissible s.108 statement, hence no established contravention. Regulation 10(n): KYC/IEC/GSTIN verification requirement was met by production of documents; no allegation or finding of forgery, so no violation. Impugned order set aside - CESTAT
