Reasons
The gist of the prosecutor's grounds for appeal is as follows: First, according to Articles 2 (1) and 3 of the Customs Act, goods which arrive in Korea from a foreign country are taxed regardless of whether they are new goods or not; therefore, the defendant's duty is not subject to taxation under the Customs Act; first, it is clear that the defendant is subject to taxation under the Customs Act even if he receives a marriage gift from non-party 1; second, the defendant is a person visiting Japan over several occasions; second, the defendant's duty must be reported when he enters Korea, considering that he is the owner of an academic career at which he was higher education; the defendant's duty is not subject to taxation under the Customs Act; the defendant's motive and circumstances leading him to return to Korea; and in light of the circumstances at the time, the defendant's duty is not subject to taxation under the above Act; and the defendant's duty is not guilty; thus, the court below erred in the misapprehension of legal principles as to the above goods.
Considering that imported goods which arrive in Korea from a foreign country are subject to customs duties in accordance with the Customs Act except as otherwise expressly provided for in the Customs Act (Articles 2(1)1 and 3 of the Customs Act). Such imported goods include all new goods regardless of their personal effects. Considering that various evidences adopted by the court below after the lawful examination of evidence are written in the defendant's trial court, the testimony of the witness at the trial court, the testimony of the witness at the trial court, the statement of the non-indicted 2 of the prosecutor's preparation of the prosecutor, and the written statement of the non-indicted 2 of the non-indicted 2, it can be sufficiently recognized that the defendant had the intention to evade customs duties, and there is no evidence after this, the defendant cannot be exempted from the liability for the crime of evading customs duties. However, the court below erred in the misapprehension of legal principles as to the defendant's goods which the court below failed or worn at the time of entering Korea and the defendant did not have the intention to evade customs duties, which affected the conclusion of the judgment, which affected the judgment of the court below.
Therefore, according to Articles 364(6) and 361-5(14) of the Criminal Procedure Act, the judgment of the court below shall be reversed and the party members shall be ruled again.
