Collector had held the product as classifiable under Heading 3802.00 prior to 11-2-1987 and thereafter under Chapter Heading 3809.00 as the product is a finishing agent used in textile. He has ruled out Chapter 34 placing reliance on Chapter Note 5(iv) to Chapter 34 of CETA, 1985.2. Ld. SDR, submits that the product is used as a softening agent in Textile Industry and chemical test indicated that it is not an organic surface active preparation but it is an aqueous emulsion of polyethylene wax. He concedes that Assistant Collector's reliance on Chapter Note 5(iv) was somewhat misplaced. But, on the other hand, since the product is essentially a finishing agent to impart softness to the textiles the product is specifically covered under Chapter 38 o...
