Export Valuation Dispute Resolved: Customs Duty Challenge Overturned, Original Value Validated Under Section 113(i)

April 10, 2025

Case Laws     Customs     AT

CESTAT adjudicated a customs duty dispute involving export valuation. The tribunal found the Additional Commissioner's re-determination of FOB value unauthorized and without legal basis. The court invalidated confiscation proceedings under Section 113(i), redemption fine, and penalties under Sections 114 and 114AA. The appellant was not obligated to predict or pre-determine alternative valuation methodologies beyond declaring transaction value. The tribunal concluded that the department's allegations of intentional value misrepresentation were unfounded. Consequently, the appellate order was set aside, and the appeal was allowed, effectively reinstating the original declared export value and absolving the appellant of imposed penalties.
