1. The common question involved in these nine appeals is whether the Nickel Cadmium Cells imported by the appellants for use in the manufacture of walkie-talkie sets should be assessed under Heading 85.04 of the Customs Tariff Act, 1975, as done by the lower authorities, or under Heading 85.15(1) read with exemption Notification No. 172/77-Customs, dated 8-8-1977, as claimed by the appellants.2. On hearing both sides, we notice that the scheme of the Customs Tariff Act, as outlined in Note 2(a) to Section XVI and in Interpretative Rule 3(a), is that if there is separate heading provided for the parts themselves, the parts are to be assessed under that heading; otherwise, they are to be assessed under the heading relating to the main equipment of which they are a part. In the present case, Heading 85.04 invoked by the lower authorities is a specific heading for "electric accumulators". We are told that electric accumulators are rechargeable storage batteries, as distinct from dry batte...
