The dispute centered on tariff classification of imported multimedia speakers and spare parts between CTH 85182200 (speakers) and CTH 85279100 (broadcast receivers). Following precedent established by CESTAT Bangalore, the Tribunal determined that multimedia speakers, despite having additional functionality, maintain their essential character as speaker units. The primary purpose remains sound reproduction rather than broadcast reception. The Tribunal ruled the goods are properly classifiable under CTH 85182200 as multiple speakers mounted in a single enclosure, aligning with the principle that classification should reflect the item's predominant function. The appellant's classification claim was upheld and appeal allowed.
