..... onstraints they, as authorised representative, have received instructions to file only written submission before the Tribunal with a prayer to decide appeal on merits. Accordingly, they have made the written submission for consideration. 5. The appellants in their appeal have stated that they are partially aggrieved by the final finding of the DA and the Customs Notification mentioned above. Various grounds were mentioned in the appeal. We have gone through the grounds and note that the grounds are mostly on general principle of procedure involved in investigation by the DA with no specific reference or specific data.

We note that it is not the contention of the appellant that the export price of PO from Singapore was not reliable or not representing the international prices of the said product. Neither there is a contention that export price of PO from Singapore is not comparable with the import price from Saudi Arabia. We have also noted that the DA has followed an accepted, consistent practice of relying on the international price of .....
