Reported in: (2003)(108)LC151Tri(Mum.)bai

1. The appellants imported goods described as "22.210 MTs of Acrylic Plastic Sheet Offcuts." The value declared was US$ 450 PMT (CIF).Examination indicated that while 5.3. MTs were offcuts, 17 MTs consisted of sheets. In reply to queries the importers claimed that the goods were defective on account of thickness variation, colour fade etc. They also claimed that the term offcuts applied where a sheet was cut from any size. The importers waived issue of show cause notice but were heard by the Jt. Commissioner. He rejected the claim that the goods were offcuts holding that they were regularly sized sheets.

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Mumbai

Decided on: Dec-16-2002

Reported in: (2003)(153)ELT305Tri(Mum.)bai

1. After hearing the party on the stay application, we have decided to take up the appeal itself after waiving deposit, 2. The appellant is engaged in the manufacture of pharmaceutical products, some of which it clears for home consumption, the rest being exported. It availed of the benefit of the exemption contained in Notification 16/97. It also availed of the Modvat procedure. The appellant filed a claim for refund of the Modvat credit amount accrued in respect of the duty paid on the inputs that it utilised in the manufacture of the exported product. Such credit is entitled to be refunded in terms of Sub-rule (13) of Rule 57F, if the credit cannot be utilised towards payment of duty on similar products cleared for home consumption. The Deputy Commissioner having been satisfied that the appellant was not in a position to utilise the credit in this manner, sanctioned the refund.3.

Commissioner of Customs Vs. Winners

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Mumbai

Decided on: Dec-16-2002

Reported in: (2003)(159)ELT1147Tri(Mum.)bai

1. In the order impugned in the appeal, the Commissioner has found that the speakers of the kind imported by the respondent required an import licence, which was not produced. He has however noted that the requirement arose as a result of amendment made to the import policy which came into effect from 25-3-1996, and that the goods in question were loaded on board the vessel which carried them to India on 3-3-1996 before this date. He has also found that prior to 25-3-1996, there was a regular practice of clearing such goods both by the Mumbai Customs House and by the Nhava Sheva Customs House. He has therefore held that although, in law, the speakers were liable to confiscation, the facts of the case warrants leniency and allow the import on a caution.2. The only contention in the department's appeal is that the fact that earlier consignments were cleared without fine does not justify clearing this consignment without a fine. We do not find it possible to accept this contention. If a ...
