Text

The appeal is dismissed.

The costs of appeal shall be borne by the plaintiff.

Reasons

The Plaintiff’s attorney’s grounds of appeal are examined.

In reviewing the original judgment, the original pesticide product is designated in accordance with Article 28 (1) 10 of the Customs Act.

Article 23 of the Enforcement Decree of the Customs Act provides that when a declaration on import of the goods was filed on June 12, 1969, the Plaintiff was unable to submit an application for tax exemption under Article 23 of the Enforcement Decree of the Customs Act, and determined that the imposition of customs duties under this case shall not be erroneous unless an application for tax exemption was filed at the time of filing the declaration on import of the goods.

A person who intends to have customs duties reduced or exempted pursuant to Article 23 of the Customs Act and Article 28 (1) 10 of the Customs Act provides that he shall submit to the head of a customs office an application stating the name, size, quantity, use, method of use, place of use, and type of business at the time of filing an import declaration of the relevant goods. According to the above Presidential Decree, with respect to pharmaceutical products and solvents, the import declaration was filed or made after January 1, 1969, and each case is approved by the Minister of Agriculture and Forestry upon recommendation of tax exemption by each case. Since the implementation of the above Presidential Decree, he shall submit an application for tax exemption, which meets the requirements prescribed in Article 23 of the Enforcement Decree of the Customs Act and the above Presidential Decree, at the time of filing an import declaration, and the above provision on the time of filing an application for tax exemption shall be interpreted as a mandatory provision, not a mere decoration provision, and it shall be justified in the misapprehension of the Presidential Decree after the first import declaration was made (see Supreme Court Decision 67Nu123, Feb. 20, 1968).

Therefore, it is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices.
