O R D E R
Adnan Iqbal Chaudhry J. - The Petitioner entered G.D. No. KEWBIB-808-15-07-2025 and G.D. No KEWB-IB-3078-04-07-2025 under section 79 of the Customs Act, 1969 [Act] for warehousing imported goods declared as “Secondary Quality Electrolytic Tin Plate Steel Sheets in Coils†and “Galvalume Steel Sheet in Coils of Secondary Qualityâ€. The GDs were assessed accordingly by the Customs under section 80 of the Act, however, the goods were then put on hold pursuant to an examination. With regards to G.D. No. 808, show-cause notice dated 05.08.2025 was issued to the Petitioner alleging mis-declaration and violation of sections 32 and 32A of the Act on grounds inter alia that the coils were rolled to conceal underneath “Prime Quality Galvalume Steel in Coilsâ€. Regards G.D. No. 378, Petitioner’s counsel states that no show-cause notice has been issued to justify a hold on the goods. However, counsel for the Customs states that a contravention report was prepared but had to be sent back with queries which has now been resubmitted and a show-cause notice is likely to be issued any time.
