Case of Commissioner Customs vs Hightop Trading Private Limited, SC Judgement Dated 17th October 2025. The apex court reaffirmed that exports are regulated primarily by the Foreign Trade Policy (FTP) and not by Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) norms unless such standards are expressly incorporated into the FTP. Upholding the CESTAT’s decision, the Court dismissed the Revenue’s appeal and set aside confiscation, customs duty demand, redemption fine, and penalties imposed on a rice exporter for alleged misclassification.
