https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=179031 Customs clearance of an imported food consignment was refused because the final test report did not affirm compliance with prescribed food standards and could not certify the absence of coumarin. The Court relied on the applicable food and sample analysis regulations, which prohibited coumarin in food, and held that uncertain or inconclusive testing could not justify release of goods where a prohibited substance was suspected. In these circumstances, clearance could not be directed and the challenge to the customs refusal failed. The writ petition was rejected on the basis that affirmative compliance with the regulatory standard had not been established by the final report. en-us Fri, 24 Aug 2012 00:00:00 +0530 Thu, 05 May 2016 11:59:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=179031 Customs clearance of an imported food consignment was refused because the final test report did not affirm compliance with prescribed food standards and could not certify the absence of coumarin.
