Marine engine, its spares and marine gear box proposed to be imported for use in fishing vessels were held to be classifiable as parts of vessels of headings 8902/8904/8905/8906/8907, based on technical certification that these goods are indispensable for seaworthy operation and are not suitable for automobile or other industrial use; hence they qualify for the concessional rate linked to end use in fishing vessels. Consequently, import of the marine engine, its spares and marine gear box attracts 5% IGST under Sl. No. 252 of Schedule I of Notification No. 01/2017-IGST (Rate). Advance ruling was declined for locally procured marine gear oil and related spares as they fall outside customs advance ruling scope. - AAR
