Deeming provision in Chapter Note 4 to Chapter 26 treats conversion of ores into concentrates as manufacture; where pre shipment processes (washing, crushing, screening, sizing) materially remove impurities or upgrade material, the resultant product is a concentrate and falls outside the exemption under Notification No.04/2006 CE, and the imported consignments so processed were held to be concentrates and ineligible for exemption.

Statutory provisions require payment of interest on duty once a demand is confirmed, and appellants remain liable for duty and interest.
