Valuation of imported goods - stamping foils - rejection of declared value - The tribunal found that the department's reliance on proforma invoices for A-grade goods was misplaced, given the appellant's importation of B and C-grade goods. The tribunal also recognized the appellant's submission of contemporaneous import data supporting their declared values. - The tribunal concurred with the appellant that there was no evidence of extra payment to the foreign supplier beyond the invoice values. - Tribunal held that the appellant's declared values were justified, and the initial inculpatory statement could not be relied upon due to the coercive circumstances under which it was obtained.
