Classification of imported viewing/smart cards was disputed; CESTAT held classification is a matter of opinion and Videocon's self-assessment under CTI 8523 52 90 was correct, setting aside re classification to CTI 8529 90 90. The Tribunal found no valid basis to invoke extended limitation under section 28(4) and therefore quashed the demand.
