Tribunal Reviews Misdeclaration Case on Imported Modems; Insufficient Evidence for Penalties, Case Remanded for Reassessment.

June 21, 2024

Case Laws     Customs     AT

The CESTAT, an Appellate Tribunal, addressed misdeclaration and undervaluation of imported goods, specifically modems and automated teller machine processors. The appellant, a registered company within a conglomerate, was involved in the case. The importer was held liable for misdeclaration, claiming goods as 'electrical and control switches' instead of 'modems.' The appellant allegedly facilitated the supply of finished 'modems.' The tribunal found the order lacking details to justify penalty under u/s 112 of the Customs Act, 1962. The stipulations for imposing penalties u/s 112(a) and 112(b) are distinct and require a detailed finding on the role of the person penalized. As the goods were confirmed for confiscation, the tribunal remanded the case to determine if conditions u/s 112(a) or 112(b) apply to the appellant. The appeal was allowed for remand.
