Imported aluminium tubes, pipes and profiles were held to be raw aluminium inputs classifiable under specific tariff headings rather than as motor vehicle parts; specific tariff entries prevail over generic Heading 8708, so the goods are not solely or principally for motor vehicle use and qualify for the exemption notifications, the effect being grant of exemption.
