Determination of export duty hinges on validity of re-test results and reliance on laboratory reports; the tribunal accepted that a subsequent re-test produced lower Fe content (55.6%) and noted discharge port sampling at 57.2% upon which transaction value was based, concluding lower authorities properly examined factual evidence and testing competence and need not be disturbed. The decision upholds reliance on the competent laboratory re-test over earlier reports, confirms acceptance of invoice value tied to discharge port Fe content, and dismisses the revenue appeal, leaving the provisional assessment and final factual findings intact.
