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.
