The issue arose concerning the tenth consignment, where certain items were found to be new instead of reconditioned as claimed by the importer. The Commissioner's order accepted the value determined by the committee, ordered confiscation with an option to redeem on payment of a fine, and imposed a penalty. Despite discrepancies in valuation, confiscation and penalty imposition were deemed unjustifiable due to compliance with certification requirements for import into the export-oriented unit.
