Transaction value declared for imports from a related foreign principal was held to represent true assessable value because the supervisory valuation bench had concluded the relationship did not influence price; the assessing officers rejection based on later observations and selected contemporaneous third-party prices was unjustified. The tribunal found the SVB order valid for the relevant consignments, disapproved adoption of third-party contemporaneous prices where buyers and quantities differed, and accepted that price differences fell within permissible resale margins and overheads. Consequentially, the impugned re-determination of value was set aside and the appeal allowed.
