This case pertains to the classification of imported goods, specifically roasted areca nuts/beetle nuts and roasted areca nuts/beetle nuts cut. The issue was whether they should be classified under CTH 080280 or not. The Court held that, in line with its previous judgment in Commissioner of Customs, Chennai-II vs. Shahnaz Commodities International Pvt Ltd., roasted betel/areca nuts being specifically classified under CTH 2008 19 20, attempting to classify them under the general CTH 08 02 80 would violate the established rule that a specific entry prevails over a general entry. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, applying the precedent to the facts of this case.
