Reported in: (1999)(105)ELT149TriDel

1. The issue involved in this appeal is the classification of regulators of electric fans known as push button switches and rotary switches without dial, knob and cover. The Collector (A) accepted the classification under sub-heading 8419.99 as part of fans. The order observes that the push buttons are working as regulators controlling the speed of rotation of the fan and therefore they are classifiable as parts. As against this finding of the Commissioner (A), the Revenue contends that as the item is known as switch it should be classified under 85.35 or 85.36.2. Sh. S. Nunthuk Ld. JDR submitted that HSN Explanatory Notes clarify that the heading for switches covers small switches for use in radio apparatus, electrical circuits etc. and specifically mentions push button switches.4. We have perused the records of the case and have considered the submissions. We find that HSN Notes in question is w.r.t. "apparatus for switching electrical circuits".

Jaguar and Co. Ltd. Vs. Commissioner of Customs

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Delhi

Decided on: Aug-07-1998

Reported in: (1998)(103)ELT453TriDel

1. The appellants herein have imported lyflex hose chrome - 12mm. The authorities below have classified the same as under Tariff Heading 83.07 which reads as follows :- 2. The authority below has ousted Chapter 84 by giving the following findings :- "I have considered the submissions made in appeal. It is an undisputed fact that the goods imported are flexible metal shower hose. There is no difference between a pipe and hose for the followings reasons:- A hose has been defined in the conveying water etc. "Similarly a tube has also been defined by the same dictionary as - "Pipe - a long hollow body". Thus a hose which is in the nature of a flexible pipe can also be termed as tube. Thus there is no substance in the plea of the appellants that these hoses are not flexible tubes of base metals. Further the definition of a 'part' cited by the appellants is applicable only for ITC purposes and not for classification in the Customs Tariff Act. A careful reading of the Chapter Notes of Chapte...

Reported in: (1999)(112)ELT1065TriDel

1. The Department has come up in appeal against the impugned orders under which the Commissioner has remanded the matter to the Assistant Collector with the direction to examine whether the benefit of Notification No. 29/88, dated 1-3-1988 is available or not.2. Shri H.K. Jain, learned SDR submitted that the classification list was approved showing rate of duty of 15% which was not challenged by the respondents and as such it was not open to him not to pay the duty at the rate approved by the Department.3. We find that the respondent is claiming the benefit of Notification 29/88 which provides duty at the rate of 10% only in respect of single ingredient formulations based on the list of bulk drugs specified in the second schedule to the Drugs Price (Control) Order. Once the respondents are claiming the benefit of this Notification, the mere fact that it was not given to them cannot stop the assessees from getting the same. In view of this, the remand order passed by the Commissioner (...

Reported in: (1999)(112)ELT1028TriDel

1. Short question involved in this appeal is whether the benefit of third proviso to Rule 9 is available to the respondents herein for removal of goods which stipulates removal of goods without payment of duty for manufacture of another commodity in the factory. Third proviso envisages 3 conditions on the fulfilment of which the goods could be removed without payment of duty for manufacture of another commodity. A show cause notice was issued to the respondents herein that they are not entitled to the benefit of third proviso to Rule 9 of the Central Excise Rules, 1944. On adjudication the Asstt.

Decided on: Aug-07-1998

Reported in: (1999)(112)ELT818TriDel

2. Three issues survive before the Tribunal in this appeal if a Modvat assessee, after relief has been given at the stage of adjudication. Two issues have only been pressed before me. These are as follows :- (i) Whether packing and forwarding charges shown separately in the Invoice, but duly paid thereon by adding those charges to assessable value, are liable to be excluded from assessable value, as contended by the Officers controlling the Modvat Assessee/Appellant and consequently duty paid thereon has been held as not admissible to Modvat credit. The aforesaid question raised by the authorities below is without any merit and substance. They have no jurisdiction to re-assess the goods while considering the admissibility or non-admissibility of any Modvat credit of duty paid by a person purchasing inputs for use in manufacture of this final product. (ii)(a) Whether invoice not pre-printed as "Original...", "Duplicate..." and "Triplicate..." but rubber stamped as above is valid for Mo...
