The End Use certificates submitted by the importer in respect of disputed four bills of entry indicated that the waste paper was used for manufacture of board only. This was also confirmed by the Central excise record that only paper board was manufactured and cleared and thus, the imported waste paper was not used for the intended purpose and the importer was called upon to pay the differential duty.

We find that the departmental s appeal is for levy of surcharge on basic Customs duty and special additional duty of Customs (SAD). We find that the respondents had imported waste paper at a concessional rate of duty for use in the manufacture of paper. However, instead of manufacturing paper, they manufactured paper board.
