CESTAT ruled on classification dispute for imported aircraft engine stands. The tribunal determined these specialized stands, designed for safe multi-modal transport of aircraft engines with shock attenuation systems, should be classified under CTI 8609 00 00 rather than CTI 8716 39 00. While featuring caster wheels for limited workshop mobility, the essential character derives from the cradle component functioning as a container. CESTAT rejected the narrow interpretation of "container" previously applied, noting CTH 8609's scope includes specially designed transport equipment, including open containers. The tribunal set aside the Principal Commissioner's order, allowing classification under CTI 8609 00 00 based on Rule 3(b) of the GI Rules.
