Classification of computer monitors hinged on their principal description and intended use; the tribunal accepted that monitors designed for computer use are distinguishable from TV/video monitors, affecting tariff treatment, and noted guidance from the Board on residuary entries. The tribunal held that where an importer discharged IGST at 18% by self-assessment, customs could not unilaterally revise that to 28% on reassessment, relying on prior precedent, and therefore set aside orders sustaining 28% IGST.
