Classification under the Import Tariff Schedule was contested; the tribunal applied the principle that a specific tariff entry prevails over a general or residuary entry (Rule 3(a) GRI) and found the impugned reclassification unsustainable. The decision emphasised breach of natural justice where the adjudicating authority relied on a third party CIPET test report without furnishing it to the affected importer, and followed precedent holding such reclassification and demands liable to be set aside. Outcome: the impugned order and duty demand were set aside.
