Serene Labs Vs. Commissioner of Central Excise

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Mumbai

Decided on: Jun-28-2005

Reported in: (2005)(188)ELT290Tri(Mum.)bai

1. The issue for determination in these appeals is correct classification of medicaments such as Ampicilin Injection BP and Gentamicin Injection BP - whether under CET subheading 3003.20 as generic medicaments as contended by the Revenue and held by the lower appellate authority, or under CET sub-heading 3003.10 as P or P medicaments which is the claim of the assessees.3. We find that it is not necessary to give a finding on this issue for the purpose of disposal of these appeals. This is for the reason that undisputedly the assessees paid duty on the goods in question and then cleared them either for export or otherwise. Therefore, they had rightly availed Modvat credit of the duty paid by them on the inputs and also taken rebate when the goods were exported. The entire exercise was Revenue neutral. Therefore, without going into the correct classification of the products in dispute, we hold that the appeals are required to succeed....

Kirti Trading Co. Vs. Commissioner of Customs

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Mumbai

Decided on: Jun-28-2005

Reported in: (2005)(189)ELT97Tri(Mum.)bai

1. The appellant imported a consignment of 10,076 pieces of veneer strips, squares, wood veneer stickers, curved veneer strips etc. valued at Rs. 93,803/-. The dispute arose as to the classification of the imported goods. The appellant claims it as veneer sheets classifiable under Chapter Heading 44.08 which reads as veneer sheets and sheets for plywood etc. whereas the department's case is that the imported goods are classifiable under Chapter Heading 44.20 of the Customs Tariff. The result of such a classification would be that the goods would become prohibited as per the ITC Policy then prevailing.2. The learned Advocate argues that the goods under import are not in finished form to be called articles of wood but are strips of a particular thickness classifiable under Heading 44.08. The original authority while adjudicating the case described the form in which the goods were imported and held that the goods are classifiable under ICT 4420.90 as they are in a fully finished form and...

Commissioner of Central Excise Vs. Krishna Filaments

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Mumbai

Decided on: Jun-28-2005

Reported in: (2005)(189)ELT175Tri(Mum.)bai

2. Respondents are an EOU, who cleared goods to the DTA unit. Notices date 5.5.95, 25.6.95 & 13.11.95 were issued. A.C. ordered withdrawal of demands. Revenue filed an appeal to CCE(A). CCE(A) found that no evidence or details of the market enquiry was indelicate in the show cause notice and in absence of such details there was no scope to apply Rule 6(b)(I) of valuation rules and rejected the appeal. Revenue is again come up in appeal to the Tribunal.3. Perusal of the grounds do not indicate any material which could be relied upon to upset the CCE(A) order. Mere assertion that the assessee has not refuted the market price quoted in the notice will not induce us to upset the order. Moreover, for valuation of removals from a DTA the market price in India is not relevant to arrive at a valuation required as prescribed under second proviso to Section 3 of the Central Excise Act, 1944. Therefore, we find no reason to uphold the valuation as proposed in the notice and differential dema...
