Decided on: Apr-11-2002

Reported in: (2002)(146)ELT143Tri(Mum.)bai

1. After hearing on the stay application for some time, it transpired, that the appeal itself could be disposed off, finally, on the short point of the lower authority's order conflicting to the findings therein. With the consent of both sides, and on waiving the pre-deposit of the amount, we take up the appeal for final decision.2. The issue in this appeal is levy of duty, on waste arising during the process of yarn at ring frame, cone-winding, reeling, warping, sizing and pirn winding. This 'yarn waste' is cleared by the assessee without payment of duty and is liable for discharge of duty under Chapter 55.05. The lower authorities have considered the plea of the appellants and have rightly held that a new product falling under Chapter Heading 55.04 has emerged in the composite mill and duty on the same could not be avoided. They have also held that in case, any credit of input duty on yarn becomes due, the appellants would be entitled for the same on fulfilment and complying with th...

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Mumbai

Decided on: Apr-11-2002

Reported in: (2002)LC482Tri(Mum.)bai

1. This is an appeal against the order of the Commissioner of Central Excise, Vadodara. In that order, adjudicating on the notice issued to the appellant, the Commissioner has confirmed the classification under Heading 8483.00 of the tariff pinion manufactured by the appellant and confirmed the differential duty consequently payable on the clearance of these goods. He has also imposed a penalty on the appellant.2. We have heard the representative of the appellant and the Departmental Representative.3. It is first contended on behalf of the appellant that the pinions are rightly to be classifiable under Heading 72.26 as parts of general use. We are unable to accept this contention. The appellant does not dispute that the pinion is a gear. McGraw Hill Dictionary of Science and Technology defines it as a "smaller of a pair of gear wheels or the smallest wheel of a gear train". We do not see how merely because it is manufactured out of hot rolled bars and rods of Heading 72.28 it falls un...

1. This stay application concerns recovery of duty on yarn which was capitvely consumed. The show cause notice was issued alleging that the value for captively consumed yarn was not the same for comparable yarn sold at the factory gate by the same appellant.2.

In appeal the Revenue did not challenge this finding of fact, arrived at by the Assistant Commissioner.

Reported in: (2002)(104)LC187Tri(Mum.)bai

1. The appellants herein imported goods declared by them to be 525 pieces of Electronic Keyboards under Customs Tariff Heading 9503.50 and produced special import licence dated 13th October, 1995 to cover the goods under Appendix 35. serial No. 16 of the Handbook of Procedure 1992-97.

The Commissioner (Appeals) upheld the order of adjudicating authority who held that the goods required specific import licence for importation since heading 9503.50 which was claimed to be the classification for the imported goods was covered by serial No. 12 and 15 of Appendi...
