The Tribunal held that appellant's defibrillators, primarily for external use, did not qualify for exemption restricted to internal use devices, following Supreme Court precedent. The appellant committed mis-declaration and suppression by claiming internal use despite knowing exemption denial, justifying duty demand, interest, and penalty for 1997-99 imports under extended limitation period.
