CESTAT, an Appellate Tribunal, addressed the classification of aerated drinks and fruit pulp or fruit juice-based drinks under different brand names. The issue was whether to classify them under Tariff Heading 2202 9020 or Chapter Sub-heading 22021020 for the period April 2011 to August 2012. The Tribunal referred to a previous case and a decision by a Larger Bench, concluding that the products in question are classifiable under Tariff Item 2202 90 20 as "fruit pulp or fruit juice-based drinks." The Tribunal disagreed with a previous decision cited by the Commissioner. Consequently, the appeal was allowed in favor of the Appellant.
