        <h1>Classification of Betel Nut Products for Customs Duty</h1> <h3>M/s Star Spices Versus Commissioner of Customs</h3> M/s Star Spices Versus Commissioner of Customs - 2021 (378) E.L.T. 712 (A. A. R. - Cus. - Del.) Issues Involved:1. Classification of imported betel nut products.2. Determination of transaction value for customs duty.Issue-wise Detailed Analysis:1. Classification of Imported Betel Nut Products:The applicant sought an advance ruling on whether the products 'API Supari (Boiled Supari)', 'Chikni Supari', 'Flavoured Supari', and 'Unflavoured Supari' should be classified under Customs Tariff Heading (CTH) 2106 90 30 as preparations of betel nut. The applicant argued that these products, derived from raw betel nuts through various processes, should be classified under Chapter 21 based on Supplementary Note 2 of Chapter 21, which defines 'Betel Nut product known as Supari' as any preparation containing betel nuts but not containing lime, katha, or tobacco.The Customs Authority examined the processes involved in making these products:- API Supari (Boiled Supari): Boiling raw betel nuts, mixing with starch, drying, and polishing.- Chikni Supari: Similar to API Supari but includes slicing.- Unflavoured Supari: Removal of impurities, sterilization, cutting, and roasting.- Flavoured Supari: Similar to Unflavoured Supari but includes flavoring.The Principal Commissioner of Customs, ICD, Tughlakabad, and Commissioner of Customs, Ludhiana, provided their opinions. The Principal Commissioner agreed with the classification under Chapter 21 if the products did not contain lime, katha, or tobacco. However, the Commissioner of Customs, Ludhiana, argued that the products should be classified under Chapter 8 as they remain betel nuts even after processing.The Customs Authority referred to previous rulings and judgments, including the Supreme Court's decision in Crane Betel Nut Powder Works, which held that processing betel nuts did not change their classification from Chapter 8 to Chapter 21.The Authority concluded that the processes applied to the raw betel nuts (cleaning, preservation, and appearance enhancement) did not transform them into 'preparations of betel nut' under Chapter 21. Therefore, the products retained their classification under Chapter 8, specifically under heading 0802 80 90.2. Determination of Transaction Value for Customs Duty:The applicant sought clarification on whether the invoice value from the overseas supplier should be accepted as the transaction value for customs duty purposes under section 14 of the Customs Act, 1962.The Principal Commissioner of Customs stated that the value of imported goods should be determined based on section 14 of the Customs Act and the Customs Valuation (Determination of Value of Imported Goods) Rules, 2007, and that an advance ruling could not pre-determine the acceptance of the invoice value as the transaction value.The Customs Authority referred to the Central Board of Indirect Taxes & Customs Tariff Notification No. 86/2019-Customs (N.T.) dated 29.11.2019, which prescribes tariff values for areca nuts under heading 080280. Since the products were classified under heading 0802 80 90, the Authority ruled that customs duty should be charged based on the tariff value prescribed by the notification.Conclusion:The Customs Authority for Advance Rulings concluded that:1. The products 'API Supari (Boiled Supari)', 'Chikni Supari', 'Flavoured Supari', and 'Unflavoured Supari' are classified under heading 0802 80 90 of Chapter 8, not under sub-heading 2106 90 30 of Chapter 21.2. The customs duty on these products should be determined based on the tariff value prescribed by the relevant notification under section 14 (2) of the Customs Act, 1962.
