Case Laws Customs AT

In a CESTAT decision addressing customs valuation, the Tribunal ruled against re-determining import goods' value through arbitrary price truncation. The judicial finding emphasized that transaction value under rule 4 of Customs Valuation Rules must derive from identical goods' consignment, with price alterations permitted only via specific rule 3 mechanisms. The Tribunal rejected executive authorities' attempts to challenge established judicial precedents, finding insufficient evidence to justify value substitution or penalize the commercial transaction. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, upholding the original declared value and maintaining judicial discipline in customs valuation proceedings.
