Tribunal classifies 'Alovit Cream' as 'P or P medicine' under CETH 3003.10, overturning prior classification.
The Tribunal ruled in favor of the appellant, classifying 'Alovit Cream' as 'P or P medicine' under CETH 3003.10 based on its therapeutic properties, expert opinions, and drug license. The Tribunal found the evidence presented by the appellant compelling and overturned the lower authorities' classification as a skin care product under CETH 3304.
Issues: Classification of 'Alovit Cream' under CETH 3003.10 as 'P or P Medicines' or under CETH 3304 as 'Skin Care Products'.
Analysis: 1. The appellant argued that 'Alovit Cream' should be classified under CETH 3003.10 as 'P or P Medicines' due to its composition and therapeutic properties, supported by drug license and expert opinions. The Revenue classified it under CETH 3304 as 'skin care preparations' based on the predominant use for skin care, disregarding the medicinal aspects. The lower authorities upheld this classification.
2. The appellant presented technical literature, expert opinions, and certificates from skin specialists to establish the medicinal nature of 'Alovit Cream'. The product was designed for therapeutic action in treating various skin disorders, as confirmed by the Drug Control authorities. Legal precedents like Ishaan Research Lab case were cited to support the classification as a medicine under CETH 3003.10.
3. The Revenue contended that Note (2) to Chapter 33 emphasized the primary use for classification, leading to categorizing 'Alovit Cream' as a skin care product under CETH 3304. Legal references like Ayurchem Products case were used to support this classification.
4. The Tribunal analyzed the evidence provided by both sides and concluded that 'Alovit Cream' qualified as 'P or P medicine' under CETH 3003.10 based on its therapeutic properties, expert opinions, and drug license. The lack of counter-evidence from the Revenue and the specific nature of evidence presented by the appellant led to overturning the lower authorities' classification. The Tribunal allowed the appeal in favor of the appellant.
