Import entitlement for dried cranberry was sustained because the product falls within the generic category 'fruit', and denial of duty-free import under post-export Duty Free Import Authorisations (DFIAs) lacked factual basis. The tribunal held transferable post-export DFIAs are not subject to an actual user condition for transferees, and struck down a value-cap public notice as invalid for lacking gazette notification. The assessing and firstappellate authorities failed to issue a speaking, reasoned order, warranting relief. The impugned orders were set aside and the licensing authority directed to restore/revalidate the lapsed DFIA for the unexpired period from bill of entry presentation.
