In a significant ruling, the Customs, Excise, and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal (CESTAT), Hyderabad, has set aside the order passed by the Principal Commissioner of Customs, Hyderabad, in the case involving PH Jewels and Appellant. β This decision, pronounced on September 8, 2025, brings clarity to the interpretation of exemption notifications under the Customs Act, 1962, and provides relief to the appellants.
Background of the Case
The case revolved around the alleged diversion of 25 kg of duty-free gold imported by PH Jewels under Notification No. β 57/2000-Cus dated 8.5.2000. β The Directorate General of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) had issued a Show Cause Notice (SCN) in 2017, claiming that PH Jewels had sold the imported gold in the domestic market instead of using it to manufacture jewelry for export. β The Principal Commissioner of Customs subsequently passed an order confirming the demand for customs duty, interest, and penalties on PH Jewels and Appellant.
