Customs Valuation Rule 4 | Incomplete Description of Goods Does Not Constitute Mis-declaration: CESTAT

CESTAT rules that describing 'painted galvanised steel sheets' as 'painted steel sheets' does not amount to mis-declaration under Customs Act 1962, reinforcing that reassessment must comply with principles of natural justice and procedural fairness. The ruling clarifies the threshold for mis-declaration in customs valuation disputes, impacting importers and revenue authorities.
