The AAR held that marine engines (HSN 8408), their spares (HSN 8409), and marine gearboxes (HSN 8483) supplied as parts of fishing vessels classified under Customs Tariff Heading 8902 attract a concessional GST rate of 5% under Serial No. 252 of Schedule I, Notification No. 01/2017-Central Tax (Rate). Classification remains under Chapter 84, but concessional rate applies due to end-use in fishing vessels. Repair and maintenance services of these vessels constitute a composite supply, predominantly of services under Heading 998714, taxable at 5% as per Notification No. 02/2021. Marine fuels used for propulsion qualify for 5% GST under amended Notification No. 14/2019, but marine engine oil, classified as lubricants (HSN 27101972), does not qualify and is taxable at 18%. The ruling emphasizes strict adherence to classification and end-use documentation to avail concessional rates.
