Classification of Ayurvedic products: re-examination required based on popular perception and substantive therapeutic claims, not solely drug licence. Products marketed as Ayurvedic medicaments must be classified by their popular perception and commercial presentation, considering advertising, packaging and user understanding. Substantial therapeutic claims that are primary, with prescription-like dosing and limited-duration use, support classification as medicaments; subsidiary curative or prophylactic properties and cosmetic presentation support classification under cosmetics/toilet preparations. A drug licence may guide but is not determinative; tariff interpretation rules and relevant chapter notes must be applied in re-examination of classifications.
