Exemption applicability: Erroneous tariff references do not defeat exemption, but deliberate tariff limiting restricts relief. Where a notification's description squarely covers goods but the cited chapter/heading/sub heading numbers are incorrect or inapplicable, those tariff references should be treated as inadvertent and not deny the exemption; the exemption applies based on the description. Conversely, where a broad description could cover goods across multiple headings yet only certain tariff references are listed, those listed references deliberately restrict the exemption to goods within those specified headings.
