LAHORE: The Customs Appraisement Mughalpura Dry Port additional collector challenged an Order-in-Original (ONO) issued by Customs Adjudication in a case of tax evasion on imported tractor parts.
The appellant filed appeal against M/s Mazda Trader Center, Mehmood Auto Market, Badami Bagh Lahore and Lahore Customs Adjudication additional collector under Section 194-A of the Customs Act, 1969 (IV of 1969) against the ONO No. 533639 dated June 10, 2016.
Appellant mentioned in the case that the impugned order passed by the additional collector order in haphazard and perfunctory manner without application of judicious mind and without differentiating among the technicalities involved between the declared descriptions of tractor parts.
Adding more, the appellant mentioned that impugned order is ex-parte, non-speaking, void ab initio, devoid of merits and issued without lawful authority.
As per brief fact of the case, M/s Mazda Trader Center, imported impugned consignment declared as tractor parts i.e clutch disc and clutch cover from Korea with declared value of $4250 and sought clearance in WeBOC.
After the examination, customs authorities found that the goods were reported on the bases of stickers pasted on the actual parts to wilfully and deliberately conceal the actual description for evasion of legitimate national revenue amounting to Rs 3.051 million.
Appellant also asked the Customs Tribunal to hear the case and passed the fresh speaking order, in this regard.
