Decided on: Nov-04-2003

Reported in: (2004)(91)ECC130

1. The appellants are manufacturers of auto bulbs. These fall under sub-heading No. 8539 of the Central Excise Tariff. The appellants claimed the classification under sub-heading No. 8539.10 whereas the department claimed classification under sub-heading No. 8539.90 and confirmed the demand of duty for Rs. 33,20,015. The appellants have sold the said bulbs in bulk to original equipment manufacturers of automobiles at the price of Rs. 8 per bulb. The sub-heading No. 8539.10 is applicable to "vacuum and gas filled bulbs of retail sale price not exceeding Rs. 20 per bulb. The dispute is that since the said bulbs have been sold in bulk and not in retail, the sub-heading No. 8539.10 is not applicable and hence the duty as demanded is leviable. The appellants plead that, they have a strong prima facie case on merit in their favour and hence they may be granted total waiver of pre-deposit of duty and penalty as demanded in the impugned order.3. We have perused the order of the Ld. Commission...
