https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=2564 Poppy seeds were importable only against a licence and supporting proof that opium poppy had been grown lawfully in the country of origin. The importer held a specific licence covering import from GCA countries, including Pakistan, and produced certificates from Pakistani authorities confirming licit cultivation and export. On that material, the import policy requirement was satisfied, and prior Tribunal reasoning supported acceptance of such certificates as proof of lawful origin. The record also showed that export of licit-origin poppy seeds from Pakistan was not treated as banned for the relevant period, so the import was not prohibited and confiscation was not warranted. en-us Tue, 14 Aug 2007 00:00:00 +0530 Wed, 16 Apr 2008 09:09:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=2564 Poppy seeds were importable only against a licence and supporting proof that opium poppy had been grown lawfully in the country of origin.
