Tariff classification of Vitamin B Complex with Liver Extract Injection accepted under Heading 3003.10 on departmental and precedent support.

Classification of Vitamin B Complex with Liver Extract Injection turned on whether the product fell under Heading 3003.10 or Heading 29.36. The Tribunal treated the earlier remand and the Department's own classification of the item under Chapter Heading 3003.10 as supporting the assessee's position, and accepted classification under Heading 3003.10. The assessee therefore succeeded on the tariff classification issue, with consequential relief, if any.

Issues: Classification of Vitamin B Complex with Liver Extract Injection, namely whether it was classifiable under Heading 3003.10 or under Heading 29.36.

Analysis: The dispute turned on the proper classification of the product in light of the Tribunal's earlier order and the fact that the Department had already classified the item under Chapter Heading 3003.10. The earlier remand and subsequent departmental classification supported the assessee's contention that the product should be treated as falling under Heading 3003.10.

Conclusion: The classification under Heading 3003.10 was accepted and the assessee succeeded on the classification issue.

Final Conclusion: The appeal was allowed with consequential relief, if any.

Ratio Decidendi: Where the departmental and precedent-based treatment of the product supported classification under the claimed tariff heading, the assessee's classification claim was accepted.
