The AAR ruled that Small-Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) Transceivers are properly classifiable under CTH 85176290 as "other machines for reception, conversion and transmission of data" rather than as parts under CTH 85177990. The authority determined that these devices function as electro-optical converters, which are categorized as apparatus rather than parts in the Explanatory Notes. Regarding duty concessions, the AAR held that Optical SFP Transceivers are ineligible for concessional basic customs duty under Sr. No. 20 of Notification No. 57/2017-Cus because they qualify as Optical Transport Equipment, which is specifically excluded from the concession. However, electrical SFP Transceivers remain eligible for the concessional duty rate.
