It is the contention of the importer that the sale price of the polyester yarn prior to and post importation of the spin finish oil demonstrates that the price of the polyester yarn post import has fallen. It is further contended by the import that the cost of spin finish oi8l in the manufacture of polyester yarn is insignificant and the major raw materials are PTA/DMT and MEG which are petroleum based products.

Commissioner. 3.1 He further states that it is not the case of the Department nor finding of the learned Commissioner (Appeals) that Chartered Accountant's certificate is issued arbitrarily or is incorrectly issued. It is also not the case of the learned Commissioner (Appeals) that any specific evidence asked for by him was not provided before him. 3.2 It is further contended by the appellant that the certificate of Chartered Accountant submitted on direction of the Revenue is reliable unless the same is found contrary to the facts, which is not the case herein.
