Transaction value could not be rejected solely on the basis of statements recorded under section 108 of the Customs Act when the mandatory procedure under section 138B was not followed. The Tribunal held that such statements become evidentiary only after the maker is examined before the adjudicating authority, admissibility is considered, and the affected party is given cross-examination.
