CESTAT Chennai held that export benefit cannot be denied unilaterally by the Customs authorities. Thus, unilateral denial of DEPB benefits by Customs authority not justifiable. Accordingly, appeal is allowed and order is set aside.
The circular permits unloading of returned export cargo and cancellation of Shipping Bills under special conditions. Export incentives will be blocked or recovered where applicable.
CBIC clarified that fees for amendment or cancellation of export documents may be waived when changes arise due to circumstances beyond the exporter’s control. The relaxation applies to disruptions such as cancelled vessels or logistics issues.
CESTAT Bangalore held that revocation of a Customs Broker license is a harsh penalty that requires clear proof of involvement in fraud. In the absence of such evidence, the tribunal set aside the license revocation but retained a penalty.
The Tribunal found that the importer had sought first-check examination and the Chartered Engineers report confirmed the declared description of goods. As a result, allegations of mis-declaration and consequent penalties were held unsustainable.
The High Court set aside the Settlement Commission’s order rejecting a settlement application. It held that while non-cooperation was noted, the finding regarding lack of full disclosure lacked adequate reasoning.
The Tribunal held that customs authorities cannot discard the declared export price without valid reasons or evidence. Transaction value supported by invoices and BRC must normally be accepted.
The tribunal ruled that confiscation and penalties were not justified because the Chartered Engineer’s certificate confirmed that the imported goods matched the importer’s declaration.
CBIC introduced a temporary customs procedure allowing export cargo returning to India due to Strait of Hormuz disruptions to be handled without a Bill of Entry in certain cases, while ensuring cancellation of shipping bills and recovery of incentives.
The Tribunal held that once the Order-in-Original is set aside, the penalty imposed under that order cannot survive independently and must depend on the outcome of fresh adjudication.
