..... Tariff Area (DTA) on payment of appropriate duty as applicable from time to time at the rate for the time being in force as per the norms of the Exim Policy prevalent at the material time and under the procedures laid down for 100% EOUs. The unit is registered as 100% EOU with the Development Commissioner, Kandla Free Trade Zone.

..... mounts. 2. Since the issue in dispute is, as to whether it is only actual or physical exports that is to be taken into account, or even deemed export can be taken into account, we waive the pre-deposit of duty and proceed to hear and dispose of the appeals themselves with the consent of both the sides. 3.

We do not agree with the contention of the learned DRS that Rule 100A or 100E of the Central Excise Rules empowers the Central Excise Authorities to check whether the value of goods cleared in the DTA by the appellants is correct or not.
