Debate Over Multimedia Speakers' Tariff Classification: DRI Challenges CTH 8518, Advocates for MRP-Based CTH 8519 Valuation. A discussion on the tariff classification of multimedia speakers raised concerns over the classification by the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI). The DRI objected to classifying multimedia speakers under CTH 8518, which involves non-MRP-based assessment, and insisted on CTH 8519, which involves MRP-based valuation due to the USB port feature. A respondent argued that multimedia speakers should remain under CTH 8518, as they are designed to play from various media, including USB ports, and do not fit the criteria for CTH 8519, which pertains to sound recording or reproducing apparatus. The DRI's actions were viewed as excessive. (AI Summary)
