Power driven pumps under the tariff exclude pumps powered by the machine itself, leaving them outside Item 30A.

Pumps driven by power generated from the machine itself, rather than by an external source, do not fall within the meaning of "power driven pumps" under Item 30A of the Central Excise Tariff. On that construction, the imported pumps were outside the tariff entry, and the refund order was upheld.

Issues: Whether the imported pumps, whose power source was derived from the machine itself and not from an external source, fell within Item 30A of the Central Excise Tariff.

Analysis: Item 30A covered power driven pumps in the sense of pumps driven by an external source of power. The pumps in question operated from the machine itself and not from any external power source. On that construction, they did not answer the description of power driven pumps under the tariff item.

Conclusion: The imported pumps were outside the purview of Item 30A of the Central Excise Tariff and the appellate refund order was upheld.
