Coating of duty-paid steel pipes not manufacture under central excise law, allowing on-site guniting during pipeline construction. The Board decided that guniting - cement mortar coating externally and epoxy/bitumen painting internally of duty paid steel pipes carried out during water supply pipeline construction - does not amount to manufacture under Central Excise law, noting that HSN Explanatory Notes permit coated products and that Tariff Act provisions do not specifically treat coating as manufacture.
