The importer had also sought CITES permission before import and complied with the imposed conditions, including the undertaking that the specimen would not be used for commercial purposes. As the alleged violations were not established on the record, the refusal to clear the goods and the confiscation order were quashed. en-us Mon, 28 Apr 2003 00:00:00 +0530 Thu, 04 Feb 2016 17:20:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=46748 Import clearance for a leopard taxidermy item could not be refused on the alleged ground of breach of the Export-Import Policy, the Wild Life (Protection) Act, 1972, or CITES, because the customs/CITES authority was not the body charged with enforcing those regimes and the competent authorities had already granted the necessary permissions.
