Classification of imported goods - Menthol Scented Supari - The High court observed that 'Menthol Scented Supari' squarely fits within the ambit of Chapter 21, as defined by Supplementary Note 2. This note explicitly mentions 'Supari' as a preparation containing betel nuts, with or without other ingredients like menthol, excluding lime, katha (catechu), or tobacco. - Applying these rules, the court deduced that the specific mention of 'Supari' under Chapter 21 takes precedence over the more general classification of nuts under Chapter 8.
