The Appellate Tribunal (CESTAT) dismissed the Revenue's appeal, affirming that the Optical Interface Modules are classifiable under CTH 85177090 as accepted by departmental authorities, and that the Revenue is precluded from contesting that accepted position. The Tribunal directed the jurisdictional authorities to refund the customs duty paid by the Respondent, with interest at 12% per annum, payable from three months after the date of initial payment until the date of refund, excluding the initial three-month processing period from interest computation.
