The tribunal held that customs brokers have no authority or responsibility to examine goods or verify FOB values, as they only file shipping bills based on provided documents. Regarding the non-existent exporter, the tribunal found the broker had relied on valid registrations including Aadhar, PAN, IEC and GST, which were cancelled retrospectively only after departmental verification. The suspension was deemed unsustainable and set aside with immediate effect, requiring return of surrendered licence documents. en-us Mon, 19 May 2025 00:00:00 +0530 Mon, 19 May 2025 13:23:27 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=771017 CESTAT New Delhi set aside the suspension of a customs broker's licence imposed for mis-declaration of goods description and values, and dealing with a non-existent exporter.
