Case Laws Customs AT

CESTAT allowed the appeal challenging customs confiscation of numismatic coin collection. The tribunal determined the goods were personal baggage, not commercial items or antiques, and found no misdeclaration. The confiscation order was set aside, with directions that the appellant may clear the goods by paying applicable customs duties and subject to existing baggage import regulations. The ruling emphasized the collection's status as personal property and rejected the original administrative order's characterization of the items as prohibited or antique goods.
