    <title>Customs Tribunal Upholds Confiscation of Undeclared Imports, Rejects Value Enhancement and Limits Penalties Under Section 114A</title>
    <link>https://www.taxtmi.com/highlights?id=86482</link>
    <description>CESTAT upheld confiscation of undeclared and excess imported goods while setting aside confiscation of properly declared items. The tribunal rejected Revenue&#039;s enhancement of transaction value, finding no evidence supporting contemporaneous import values or allegations of extra payments. The appellant-company was held liable for penalty under Section 114A equal to the duty on mis-declared quantity only, while penalties under Section 114AA were deemed inapplicable as documents were genuine. Penalties against the company&#039;s Director under both Sections 114A and 114AA were set aside. The matter was remanded for recalculation of duty on excess/undeclared goods and determination of appropriate redemption fine, with previous deposit of Rs.7,20,695 to be adjusted against confirmed duty.</description>
