Insistence on a bank guarantee for provisional release of seized goods was held unsustainable where the classification dispute rested on an ambiguous CRCL report based largely on visual inspection, the examiner was not a food analyst, and the testing procedure under the Food Safety and Standards Regulations was not shown to have been followed.
