The appellant failed to prove the s12(2)(a) due diligence defence because it could with reasonable diligence have discovered the false trade descriptions prior to importation; the acts of causing the goods to be brought into Hong Kong were sufficiently proximate to constitute an attempted import; therefore the conviction was properly upheld despite sale by sample or lack of actual knowledge.
