Merinoply and Chemicals Ltd. Vs. Collector of Customs

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Delhi

Decided on: Mar-30-1988

Reported in: (1988)(16)ECC187

1. In this appeal, the dispute is on the valuation of the Sanding Machine imported by the appellants in April, 1980. The appellants declared its purchase price as DM 65,000/-. The Customs felt that the declared value was low. They made an enquiry with the foreign manufacturer of the machine in West Germany. The manufacturer informed the Customs that the ruling price in April, 1980 was DM 76,000 CIF.This was corroborated by the fact that three months later M/s. Wood Craft Products Ltd., Calcutta imported a similar machine for DM 81,700.The Customs, therefore, found the declared value low and after adjudication the Assistant Collector enhanced the assessable value of the machine to DM 76,000 CIF.2. The appellants plead before us that the Sanding Machine imported by them came without the two standard belt drive motors of 22 KW each and that is why their import price was low. We find from the record that the appellants have not taken such a plea before any of the lower authorities. Even i...

1. Brief facts of the case are that the respondents herein imported a product, namely polycyclopentadiene known as Resin P-3 in solution form. The imported product constitutes 36% of artificial resin and the remaining quantity Toluene. It was assessed initially so far as countervailing (C.V.) duty is concerned under T.I. 14 CET. Later on a less charge demand was issued to the respondents herein alleging that the C.V. duty ought to have been charged under T.I. 15A CET. The original authority confirmed the less charge demand treating the imported as artificial resins and as therefore, rightly assessable for the purpose of addl. duty i.e. C.V. duty under T.I. 15A.On appeal by the respondents herein to the Collector of Customs (Appeals), the said Collector held that the goods were classifiable under T.I. 68 for the purpose of C. V. duty. He considered that the imported product is a composite one and is a binder and does not have the characteristic of plasticity and therefore, the product ...

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Delhi

Decided on: Mar-29-1988

Reported in: (1988)(17)ECC157

1. The impugned order-in-appeal dated 5-4-1983 disposed of two appeals, one against an order on a classification list under which the exemption claimed by the appellants under Notification No. 89/79-C.E., dated 1-3-1979 was refused and the other under which a demand for payment of duty in respect of removals during the period 1-4-1979 to 31-3-1980 was confirmed. The second order followed the findings in the earlier order on the question of exemption. The reason for refusal of the exemption was that while the appellants claim that the value, for purposes of notification, of the plant and machinery was to exclude the value of plant and machinery permanently dismantled and removed and include such part of the plant and machinery as had been replaced and was in existence at the relevant time, the lower authorities held that apart from the value of plant and machinery at the time of installation the value of plant and machinery as was installed from time to time was also to be included wit...
