The appellant had initially exported Indian tea to Netherlands, which was rejected and recalled to India. Upon re-importation, no DEPB claim was advanced. The goods were then imported against a Bill of Entry dated 17.03.2005 for re-export, claiming the benefit of Notification No.158/95. After processing, the goods were re-exported within the prescribed period under the said Notification, with proper declarations in the shipping bills. The allegation of non-compliance with procedures in identifying goods at the time of export or producing relevant reprocessing certificates was found unsustainable. The appellant was entitled to the benefit of Notification No.94/96-Cus. The Supreme Court's decision in Share Medical Care Vs. UOI established that an applicant is not barred from claiming the benefit of a notification at a later stage. Consequently, the impugned order demanding duty on the re-exported goods was set aside, and the appeal was allowed with consequential relief.
