Solar lamp classification turns on the source of energy, not a mere semantic distinction in import description.

Imported goods described as solar lights were treated as solar lamps because the import policy permitted solar lights and the goods functioned as lamps using solar energy for illumination. A lay visual distinction, without technical evidence, was insufficient to deny that character. The decisive feature was the source of energy, not the terminology used to describe the goods. They were therefore classifiable as solar lamps and could be imported without a specific licence.

Issues: Whether the imported goods described as solar lights were to be treated as solar lamps eligible for import without a specific licence.

Analysis: The import policy permitted solar lights. The finding that the goods were not solar lamps rested only on a lay visual examination and not on technical evidence. The goods were imported as an assembly of solar panels and electrically operated lamps, and in that form they functioned as lamps using solar energy for illumination. The decisive feature was the source of energy, not any semantic distinction between solar light and ordinary lamp.

Conclusion: The imported goods were solar lamps and did not require a specific licence for import.
