Valuation of imported goods - The only ground on the basis of which the transaction value has been rejected is that the imports were made at a higher price by other importers than at the price at which the Appellant imported HR Coils in question - A perusal of the imports relied upon in the impugned order show that the quantity of imports were substantially different from the quantity of the import made by the Appellant.

In the present case neither the goods were identical nor of substantially the same quantity. - AT
