In the description of contemporaneous comparative imports also the product description is SS steel coils/ SS cold rolled steel/ SS hot rolled steel. No heading or classification has been mentioned in the said data. Presumably if the attempt was to classify the products under heading 7208 then contemporaneous data of the same heading i.e. 7208 would have been taken. If the product has been found to be classifiable under heading 7219/ 7220 the contemporaneous data of imports of heading 7208 cannot be used to redetermine the transaction value under Rule 4. The demand cannot be sustained. Since demand itself is not sustained on merit, the confiscation cannot be upheld.

AR relies on the impugned order. Written submissions were filed on 24/10/2016. He argued that there was no provision of assessment and demand should have been done under Section 18 of the Customs Act. The goods were finally assessed however, the same was seized after assessment and therefore, show-cause notice invoked Section 28 for recovery of duty. He argued that it was not open to the Commissioner to confirm the demand under Section 18. He argued that the goods were released provisionally after the same were seized under the reasonable belief that they were liable for confiscation. The provisional release of goods cannot be treated as provisional assessment of goods. He argued that the stainless steel of 301 and 304 are not significantly different. 5. We have gone through the rival submissions. We find that the primary issue to be decided is if the material imported by OIL is stainless steel melting scrap or a large part of it can be treated as serviceable material.
