iv Details of the The proceedings relate to the alleged mis-declaration of
violation(s)/contravention(s) imported Prilled Urea as Technical Grade Urea. The Authority
has held that the goods did not meet the applicable
committed or alleged to be specifications for Technical Grade Urea and were therefore not
committed covered under the free import category. Consequently, the
goods were held to be prohibited goods and liable for
confiscation under Sections 111(d) and 111(m) of the Customs
Act, 1962. Penalties were also imposed under Sections 112(a)(i)
and 114AA of the Customs Act, 1962.
The Company submitted that the principal basis for the
allegation was the Biuret content of the imported Urea. The
Company explained that the consignments were tested by
independent surveyors at the load port and the test certificates
generally reported Biuret content within the applicable limit for
Technical Grade Urea. The Company disputed the reliance
placed by the department on post-clearance factory test results,
since the same were generated using an in-house rapid testing
method and not in accordance with the sampling and testing
procedure prescribed under IS 1781:2022. The Company further
submitted that no representative samples had been drawn by
Customs while the goods were under Customs control and no
contemporaneous Customs/CRCL test report was available.
Accordingly, the Company contended that the post-clearance
test results could not conclusively establish the Biuret content of
the consignments at the time of import or justify reclassification
of the goods as Fertilizer Grade Urea.

The Company believes that it is fully compliant with the applicable laws and regulations and has not
committed any violation. The Company will pursue appropriate legal recourse against the said
adjudication order.
