A Board circular prescribing a time limit for post-export amendment of shipping bills was treated as non-binding where the restriction did not arise from the governing statutory provision.

The Tribunal therefore rejected the Revenue's challenge based solely on alleged non-compliance with the circular's time limit and sustained the conversion of the shipping bills.
