Collector of Central Excise Vs. Laxmi Udyog

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Delhi

Decided on: Jul-17-1987

Reported in: (1987)(31)ELT529TriDel

1. The common issue in these two appeals is whether the cost of wooden box used for packing of machine parts manufactured by the respondents should be included in the assessable value of the goods under Notification No. 120/75-CE, dated 30-4-1975 or not.2. On hearing both sides and on perusal of the record, we find that the practice of the respondents is to deliver their machine parts to local customers in polythene bags only. For out-station deliveries, a wooden box is used over and above the polythene bag. It is obvious from these facts that the wooden box packing is necessitated by the consideration of safety of the goods during long distance transportation only.Otherwise, the goods, being made of metal and not being delicate or fragile articles, are quite capable of being put in the wholesale market in polythene bag only and they are in fact so sold in the local wholesale market. In the circumstances, following the ratio of the Supreme Court judgments in the case of Godfrey Philip...
