Levy of imposed u/s 114A - Classification of imported goods - import of Shell Flavex Oil 595 B/H - item being Plasticizer - The Appellate Tribunal recognized the bona fide belief of the appellant in classifying the imported goods under CTH 38122090 as plasticizer, given that the tariff entry included the compound "Plasticizer."

The appellant had not contested the duty liability and had paid the entire amount along with interest before the issuance of the show cause notice. - The Tribunal concluded that the appellant's actions did not meet the criteria for penalty imposition under this section. There was no evidence of suppression of fact, collusion, or willful misstatement on the part of the appellant.
