Interpretation of an exemption notification for imported crude palm oil focused on acid value as the sole contested parameter. The tribunal applied a strict textual interpretation, holding that the phrase "acid value 4 or more" contains no upper limit, so no higher acid-value cutoff may be read into the notification; consequence: notification benefit cannot be denied on that ground. The tribunal further treated reprocessing and PHO clearance as operative compliance evidence, nullifying claims that the goods failed edible-grade standards and resulting in allowance of the appeals with consequential relief.
