Import of road construction machines - Benefit of exemption - Actual user conditions - requirements of a valid contract for road construction. - The Tribunal acknowledges that the importer lacked a valid contract at the time of filing the BE. However, it considers the circumstances surrounding the contract's absence, noting that the contract requirement should be interpreted purposefully to ensure the machine's intended use aligns with the notification's objectives. The Tribunal distinguishes the present case from the precedent cited by the appellant, emphasizing the specific conditions that led to the denial of exemption in the previous case and their absence in the current scenario. - Ultimately, the Tribunal upheld the decision of the Commissioner (Appeals), affirming the eligibility of the imported machines for exemption.
