Classification focused on whether products are Ayurvedic medicaments or cosmetics, applying the twin test of ingredient composition and common parlance together with statutory licensing; Tribunal found ingredients, dosages and drug licences established medicinal character and classified goods under Chapter 30, displacing the cosmetics classification. Liability was tested by manufacturer status under loan licence law: the job worker was held to be the manufacturer and pre-August 2011 demands against the principal were set aside. The appellant qualified for SSI exemption for Sept 2011-Feb 2012 and had paid duty from March 2012 after registration, so no differential duty nor penalties were imposed.
