Case Laws Customs AT

CESTAT ruled in favor of the appellant regarding classification of imported polyester bed sheets. The Tribunal determined that while the items were woven fabric of synthetic filament yarn, their specific use as bed spreads/bed sheets warranted classification under CTH 6304 rather than CTH 5407. Following precedent from Comm. of Customs case, CESTAT confirmed appellant's original classification under CTH 6304 was correct. Consequently, the confiscation of goods, duty demands, and associated penalties were deemed unsustainable. The ruling emphasizes that end-use and specific product characteristics take precedence over basic material composition in customs classification. Appeal allowed with all charges and penalties set aside.
