Breach of an import undertaking under Condition No.104 (Serial No.347B) for a helicopter -- demonstrated by predominant private, unpaid use -- supports confiscation and recovery by recourse to the undertaking despite references to section 28. The tribunal upheld confiscation because the exemption condition was substantially violated.
