The Department s contention is that the appellants have declared these goods as inputs, which in fact were not inputs. The appellants contention is that these structurals are used in the furnace of their factory. I find that the appellants have, in this case, not declared the goods correctly and it was for them to clearly indicate where these goods are used.

As regards the interest on the amount of duty payable, I fine that the interest has been invoked by the adjudicating authority under the provisions of Rule 57-I(5) of the Central Excise Rules, 1944.
