Section 130 of the Customs Act provides for an appeal from an order of a Tribunal which is not an order determining any of the questions having relation to the rate of the duty of the customs or the value of the goods for the purpose of assessment. According to Mr. Bharadwaj, the question that really called for consideration before this Court was whether the imported duties are excisable and marketable and in the process the said item was liable for imposition of additional duty of customs under Section 3(1) of the Customs Tariff Act.
