Hindustan Aluminium Corporation Vs. Collector of C.E.

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Delhi

Decided on: May-17-1988

Reported in: (1989)(39)ELT614TriDel

1. The point of dispute is the assessment of aluminium dross and skimmings. The department assessed the dross and skimmings under Item 68 of the Central Excise Tariff because they held that "aluminium dross losses its identity with the raw materials in the course of its production and emerges as a new and different product having a distinctive name, character or use". They held that since the dross is sold and saleable, this test of marketability places it in the category of goods and since it is manufactured during the production of aluminium sheets, it would fall under Item 68.2. The learned counsel for M/s. Hindustan Aluminium submitted that this Tribunal had held in several judgments that dross and skimmings are not goods and, therefore, not excisable.3. The learned counsel for the department, however, opposes the freedom from excisability of dross and skimmings. He argued that all the Tribunal's order of the past were based on the Bombay High Court judgment 1980 E.L.T. 146 re: In...
