Collector of Customs Vs. Warner Hindustan Ltd.

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Delhi

Decided on: Jun-16-1986

Reported in: (1986)(9)ECC108

1. The short question that arises for consideration in this appeal by the Collector of Customs, Bombay, is as to whether the goods imported (named Incoloy-800) conform to the specification, composition and description of "stainless steel", so as to be assessable to duty under Item No. 73.15(2) of the First Schedule to the Customs Tariff Act, 1975 (the Schedule and the Act for short), or they are assessable to duty under Item 73.15(1) of the Schedule as goods "not elsewhere specified".While the Asstt. Collector had held them to be assessable to duty under Item 73.15(2) on the ground that the goods conform to the definition of "stainless steel", the Collector (Appeals) had held that they were alloy steel sheets and not "stainless steel" sheets and accordingly they are more appropriately assessable to duty under Heading 73.15(1) of the Schedule.2. The identical question arises in regard to another import of the same goods in Appeal No. 1950/85-B2 (C.C., Bombay v. Rashtriya Chemicals and ...

1. By order No. 10 of 1980 (undated) the Collector of Central Excise, Bombay-I, by exercising his powers under Section 35-A of the Central Excises and Salt Act, 1944, revised the assessment of the Assistant Collector of the Central Excise, Bombay Division 'K', in classification list No. 168/79 dated 24th December, 1979, of goods declared as printed aluminium labels assessable under item 68 of the Central Excise Tariff at nil rate of duty by reason of notification No. 55/75-C.E. dated 1-3-1975.

Lubrizol India Limited Vs. Collector of Customs

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Delhi

Decided on: Jun-11-1986

Reported in: (1986)(8)LC410Tri(Delhi)

1. A common issue is involved in these two appeals and they are, therefore, disposed of by this common order.2., On hearing both sides, we observe that the appellants imported certain chemical intermediates. They paid the customs duty assessed and cleared the goods. Later on, they applied for refund of the duty paid contending that the goods had been contaminated in the ships' holds and had been found by them to be incapable of their intended use. It was an agreed position between the appellants and the lower authorities, and so also before us, that the only provision of the Customs Act, 1962 under which their claim could be dealt with was Section 22. This Section provides for abatement of duty proportionate to the reduction in the value of the goods on account of damage or deterioration. The lower authorities rejected the appellants' claim on the ground that Section 22 had no application once the goods had been cleared out of customs control, 3. On careful consideration of the matter...
