Classification of goods - Sulphuric Acid, used in the manufacture of Agricultural Grade Zinc Sulphate - classified as fertiliser under Chapter 31 of CETA or classifiable under 28332990 of CETA - Both appellants successfully argued that despite Zinc Sulphate’s classification under a non-fertilizer tariff, its use as a fertilizer in agriculture justified the exemption. The Tribunal aligned with this broader, functional interpretation of the law, setting a precedent for similar cases, where the end use of the product determines its classification for tax purposes rather than strict adherence to tariff codes.
