Issue: Classification of NIDO Nutritious Milk for growing kids under the Central Excise Tariff Act, 1985.- Summary: The appeal was filed against the Order-in-Original passed by the Commissioner of Central Excise, New Delhi, disputing the classification of NIDO Nutritious Milk under Tariff Item 0404 90 00 instead of 1901 90 90.- Analysis: The Department argued that the product should be classified under Tariff Heading 1901 due to the addition of flavor, which they claimed was not permitted under Tariff Heading 0404. The assessee-Appellants contested this, stating that the addition of a small quantity of artificial flavoring substance did not change the essential nature of the product from what is covered under 0404. They relied on previous Tribunal decisions to support their classification.2.
