https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=764293 CESTAT New Delhi dismissed the appeal challenging confiscation and penalty for misdeclaration of imported goods. The appellant imported Aluminum Printing Plates but declared them as P.S. Printing Plates to evade anti-dumping duty. The tribunal distinguished this case from Sun N Sand precedent, finding the test report by Don Bosco reliable as the appellant failed to seek cross-examination of technical experts and didn't utilize their right to retest samples. The tribunal rejected arguments about expired shelf life affecting test validity, holding that goods retain their characteristics beyond expiry dates. The misdeclaration violated Section 46(4), making goods liable for confiscation under Section 111(m). Anti-dumping duty of Rs. 44,15,360 with equal penalty under Section 114(A) was upheld. en-us Mon, 23 Dec 2024 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 07 Jan 2025 11:33:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=764293 CESTAT New Delhi dismissed the appeal challenging confiscation and penalty for misdeclaration of imported goods.
