Classification of imported goods - If every ‘flange’ available in the market could be used in any industry, then perhaps the classification under a single CTH would have served that purpose, but since one size does not fit all, different classifications are provided. The classification thus depends on, inter alia, functionality as well. Hence, when an item is imported for a specific purpose, if the Revenue does not believe in the classification declared by such importer, then the same could be rejected on some palpable evidence and if required, the Revenue could always insist upon further details / explanation insofar as the function / end-use claimed by such importer is concerned, in order to ascertain the chief/primary function, to arrive at the proper classification, otherwise the purpose of having two Customs Tariff Headings loses its significance, which is not the intention of legislature. - AT
