Customs Act penalties for facilitating undervalued imports require evidence that the person procured or used an IEC, participated in unlawful import activity, or knew of it. Introducing an importer to a freight forwarder or providing contact details for a person able to arrange an IEC, without such evidence, does not establish a Customs Act violation or conspiracy. On that basis, penalties under Sections 112(a) and 114AA were set aside, with consequential relief.
