The appellant challenged the rejection of refund claim for excess export duty paid due to downward revision, on the ground of failure to rebut the presumption u/s 28D of the Customs Act, 1962 regarding non-passing of duty incidence to others. The Tribunal analyzed the cost sheet certified by the Chartered Accountant, which showed the export duty amount calculated separately and not included in the FOB value. Relying on the Andhra Pradesh High Court's decision in Asia Pacific Commodities Ltd. case and its own decision in Muneer Enterprises case, the Tribunal held that in FOB contracts, the presumption u/s 28D stands rebutted, and the incidence of duty has not been passed on to overseas buyers. The Circular No.18/2008-Cust cited by the Department was found inapplicable. Consequently, the Tribunal set aside the impugned order and allowed the appeal.
