Imported agricultural machines described as paddy reapers without a binder are not covered by the concessional duty entry for "Reaper cum Binder"; the notification's language denotes a single integrated machine performing both reaping and binding and must be strictly construed, so the exemption is unavailable. However, confiscation and penalty under provisions addressing non correspondence or evasion were set aside because the goods corresponded to the bill of entry and there was no deliberate misdescription or intent to evade duty; the importer's claim was treated as a bona fide, mistaken interpretation under self assessment. The goods remain assessable at regular tariff rates and any differential duty demand survives.
