Prosecution proved that the seized cigarettes were prohibited imports and properly valued; section 119 placed the burden on the accused to prove lawful import or payment of duties which he failed to discharge; circumstantial evidence (sole access to premises, tossing of remotes/access card, attempted flight, refusal to assist entry) established possession and guilty knowledge and therefore conviction under s.135(1)(d) Customs Act 1967 was warranted.
