Classification of goods under Central Excise Tariff - Articles of plastics versus residuary tariff item - Tariff Advice of the Central Board of Excise and Customs - Interpretation of tariff itemsClassification of goods under Central Excise Tariff - Articles of plastics versus residuary tariff item - Tariff Advice of the Central Board of Excise and Customs - Monomer castings produced directly from caprolactum are not classifiable as articles of plastic under Item 15A(2) of the Central Excise Tariff but are classifiable under the residuary Tariff Item 68. - HELD THAT: - The Tribunal held that the monomer castings produced directly from caprolactum fall within the residuary Tariff Item 68 and not within Item 15A(2) as articles of plastic. The Tribunal's conclusion was supported by the Tariff Advice issued by the Central Board of Excise and Customs on 27th November, 1980, which expressly states that such monomer castings are not classifiable as articles of plastics under Item 15A(2) and are properly classifiable under Item 68. Having regard to that authoritative Tariff Advice, the Collector's contrary classification could not be sustained and the Revenue's contention to the contrary, as raised before the Tribunal and in this appeal, failed.Appeal dismissed; classification upheld in favour of the respondents and matter remitted to Tariff Item 68; costs awarded against the Revenue.Final Conclusion: The Supreme Court dismissed the Revenue's appeal and upheld the Tribunal's classification of the monomer castings (produced directly from caprolactum) under the residuary Tariff Item 68, relying on the Central Board's Tariff Advice of 27th November, 1980; costs were awarded. The Supreme Court dismissed the Revenue's appeal against the Customs Tribunal's order. The Tribunal classified monomer castings produced from caprolactum under Tariff Item 68 based on a Tariff Advice from the Central Board of Excise and Customs. The Court found it unreasonable for the Collector to hold otherwise given the Tariff Advice.
