Classification of goods: classify items by how they are presented, not by their intended post-sale use. Printed plastic sheets ready for use in manufacturing stoppers, lids, caps and similar closures are to be classified by reference to their nature as presented for assessment, not by their subsequent use as packaging; the essential character test should not be applied to recharacterise goods based solely on what they may immediately become after clearance, and the Board directs field formations to adopt this approach and finalise pending assessments.
