I am directed to say that a doubt has been raised whether the Hand Pallet Truck/Trolley are classifiable under heading 84.27 or under heading 87.16 of the Central Tariff. This classification issue had already been examined once by the Board for defending the Writ Petition filed by M/s jaldoot Material Handling Pvt. Itd., it was then clarified that the appropriate classification of the item would be under heading 87.16. The CEGAT however has held in this case that the correct classification of Hand Pallet Trucks is under chapter heading 84.27 of CETA, 1985. An appeal against the CEGAT judgement has been filed before Apex Court. 2. In case of a similar product described as Hand Trolley, the CEGAT has held (in the case of Gujrat Industrial Trucks Ltd. Vs. CCE Baroda = 2000 (9) TMI 473 - CEGAT, MUMBAI ) that the correct classification of the item is under chapter heading 87.16 of CETA 1985. 3. The matter has been examined by the Board. In view of Ministry s stand to appeal against the CEGAT decision in the case of jaldoot Material Handling Pvt. Ltd., and also the Judgement in the case of Gujrat Industrial Trucks Ltd. Vs.

On going through the GST Tariff Act, 2017, it is noticed that there is no specific entry for the said product. However, it appears to be classifiable under heading 871611090 5.1 On going through the GST HSN code for major 6 head 871680 which is cover other Vehicle whereas further sub heading 87168010 covers hand propelled vehicles e.g. hand cart, rickshaw and the like, hence, it can not be the proper HSN code for their product. Further sub heading 87168020 covers the product Animal drawn Vehicle the product manufactured by the assessee is other than the product of animal drawn vehicle hence it can not be classified under sub heading 87168020. Now the last sub beading under the major head of 6 digit HSN for the product is 87168090 is meant for Others . Therefore, we are of the view that the product in question i.e. Cargo Trolley used to carry Cargo from one place to another, towable in nature and has solid tyre designed for transportation of baggage and light cargo with a minimum payload.
