Whether imported racks are classifiable as electrical control apparatus and whether they attract concessional BCD. Applying Note 3 to Section XVI and GRI 3(a), the authority found the racks are composite/multi-functional with the principal function being distribution of electricity; the UPS within is ancillary (providing backup to networking equipment) and does not determine essential character. Explanatory Notes and the boards/panels description show Heading 8537 gives the more specific description than Headings 8504/8517/8543, so the racks are classifiable under 8537 10 90. Consequence: the racks are classed under 8537 10 90 and eligible for the concessional BCD under Notification No.45/2025 (S. No. 281). - AAR
