REPRESENTED BY : Shri C. Subba Reddy, Advocate, for the Appellant. Shri R.S. Sangia, SDR, for the Respondent. [Order per : B.S.V. Murthy, Member (T)]. The facts in brief are that the appellant had filed a Bill of Entry No. 128 dated30-4-04at ICD Vapi, declaring the imported goods under broad heading Furniture but including inter alia, goods such as washing machines, music systems, refrigerator and cooking range.

Heard both sides. Learned advocate for the appellant submitted that in this case, the Bill of Entry had been filed on30-4-04which was assessed after first check. It has also been submitted by him that value has been enhanced after assessment and the duty was paid by the appellant on7-5-04.

Further, they have also not explained why they did not seek and obtain licence for importing old and used items. The appellant had admitted that importation of old and used items was because of ignorance. The whole case of the department is based on documents only and therefore we do not find any merit in the contentions raised by the appellant. 5. Coming to the legal issue, the decision of the Hon ble Supreme Court in the case of Flock (India) Pvt.
