Classification of imported goods as electronic cigarette versus tobacco product was contested; tribunal found the show cause inadequate to establish that the goods fell within prohibitory descriptions, so confiscation and penalty under customs law could not be sustained. The decision emphasises that absence of threshold cause defeats initiation of adjudicatory proceedings and that duty free operator warehousing obligations must be specifically alleged and proved before invoking forfeiture remedies, leading to setting aside of the impugned order for lack of legal authority and jurisdictional overreach.
