CESTAT upheld the re-classification of Lauric Acid under Tariff Item 29159090, rejecting appellant's declared classification. The tribunal determined that the imported goods did not qualify as either a salt or ester of Palmitic or Stearic Acid under subheading 2915.70. The ruling emphasized that tariff 2915 7090 specifically pertains to Palmitic and Stearic acids, their salts and esters, and cannot be extended to include other saturated fatty acids. The appellant's reliance on an undocumented opinion, without supporting evidence, failed to counter the original classification findings. The appeal was dismissed, confirming the authorities' re-classification decision.
