Levy / Demand of Countervailing Duty (CVD) - whether the appellant, who purchased software from a subsidiary company and had it directly imported to them, could be considered the importer - As per the precedent, the appellant was considered the importer of the software. - The CESTAT analyzed the circumstances and determined that since the appellant believed in good faith that they were not the importer, the issue was interpretational. Consequently, the Tribunal found no grounds to invoke the extended period for demanding duty payment, as the appellant acted in good faith and did not intend to evade duty. Moreover, the CESTAT ruled in favor of the appellant regarding the imposition of interest on the CVD, aligning with a previous Supreme Court decision.
