Mahendra Chandrakant Kasat Vs. Union of India (Uoi) and Collector of C ...

Court: Mumbai

Decided on: Jul-20-1989

Reported in: 1990(28)LC31(Bombay)

Bharucha, J.1. The petitioners imported Polyvinyl Alcohol GR 17 from Japan. The goods arrived in Bombay on 22nd February 1983 and 4 bills of entry were filed for home consumption. This petition was filed and the goods were cleared on the basis of the interim order dated 25th February 1983.2. The contention that was originally taken in the petition was that customs duty could not be levied on the c.i.f. value of the goods while determining the assessable value for the purposes of countervailing duly. This contention can no longer be urged. It has been rejected by a Division Bench of this Court by the judgment in Ashok Traders v. Union of India 32 ELT 262 : 1988 (14) ECR 12.3. What is urged after an amendment of the petition is an ingenious argument based upon the construction of the applicable exemption notification dated 28th February, 1982.4. The goods are covered by Item No. 39.01/06 of the First Schedule to the Customs Tariff Act. They are liable under that item to customs duty at t...
