Issues: Whether the product 'shower to shower prickly heat powder' is classifiable as a medicament under Chapter Heading 30.03 or as a cosmetic and toilet preparation under Chapter Heading 33.04 of the Central Excise Tariff Act, 1985.
Analysis: The product was found to be the same as the prickly heat powder considered by the Supreme Court in the cited decision. The ingredients and claimed function were materially identical, and the product contained medicinal ingredients such as salicylic acid, boric acid, and zinc oxide. The earlier Supreme Court ruling had accepted that such a product is treated as a medicament in common parlance and for tariff purposes, and that approach governed the present dispute.
Conclusion: The product is classifiable as a medicament under Chapter Heading 30.03 and not as a cosmetic and toilet preparation under Chapter Heading 33.04.
Final Conclusion: The classification dispute was resolved in favour of treating the product as a medicinal preparation, and the impugned order was set aside with consequential relief.
Ratio Decidendi: Where the product is identical in substance and ingredients to one already held by the Supreme Court to be a medicament, and its medicinal character is borne out by composition and common parlance, tariff classification must follow that ruling.
