Representative samples of the imported consignments were tested by the departmental laboratory and described as carbonates of calcium and magnesium, i.e. dolomite; on that basis, the goods were held classifiable under CTI 2518 1000 rather than as rough marble blocks under CTI 2515 1210.

The consequential differential duty demand, confiscation, redemption fine, interest and penalties were therefore set aside, and the appeals were allowed.
