E-Bike Components Without Battery Pack Cannot Qualify for Reduced Customs Duty Under Notification 50/2017-Cus

March 18, 2025

Case Laws     Customs     AT

CESTAT ruled that imported e-bike components without battery pack or electric compressor do not qualify for reduced duty rates (15% or 25%) under S.No. 531A(1)(a) or (b) of Notification No. 50/2017-Cus. The tribunal rejected appellant's claim that goods declared as "E-Bike in CKD Condition" qualified under the notification, as the examination revealed only parts like plastic cover, chassis, disc brake, shocker, front fork, seat, wheel rim, converter, and controller. Since the shipment lacked the battery pack (either disassembled or preassembled), the standard 50% duty rate applied. However, CESTAT remanded the case to the original adjudicating authority to determine whether the goods could be classified under CTH 87141090 as e-bike parts.
