Issues: Whether lead seals used for sealing electric meters were classifiable under Chapter sub-heading 8309.00 of the Central Excise Tariff or under Chapter sub-heading 7806.00.
Analysis: The admitted use of the goods was to seal electric meters and make them tamper-proof. Chapter 83.09 specifically covers stoppers, caps, lids and seals, and the HSN Explanatory Notes to that heading include seals of all kinds, generally of lead and tin plate. The classification was required to follow the HSN nomenclature, as the tariff heading and the HSN entry were similarly worded and no different intention was shown in the tariff.
Conclusion: Lead seals were classifiable under Chapter sub-heading 8309.00 and not under Chapter sub-heading 7806.00.
