Classification of the impugned goods turned on whether they were cosmetics/toiletry preparations or Ayurvedic medicines; the Tribunal held that documentary proof of manufacture, licences, GMP certificate and Directorate opinion supported Ayurvedic classification and that the Revenue bore the burden to prove cosmetic character, which it failed to do due to absence of test reports or other evidence.
