Judgment text excerpt
The appellant challenged a Tribunal order regarding the deemed removal of goods from a bonded warehouse and the applicable duty rate. The central issue was whether the goods were deemed removed on the date the warehousing period expired or if a subsequent notification reducing duty rates could apply. The appellant relied on a Central Board of Excise & Customs circular and existing Supreme Court precedent to argue against the deemed removal theory.
