CESTAT held that the concessional basic customs duty under Notification No. 57/2017-Cus. was available for the imported Cisco Catalyst 3850 Series Ethernet Switches because the denial rested on an earlier order that had already been set aside in a precedent on identical goods, later upheld by the Bombay High Court; the concession was therefore allowed for the three Bills of Entry actually covered by the appellate order. On maintainability, the Tribunal held that an appeal lies under Section 129A(1) only against an order of the Commissioner (Appeals) under Section 128A, and payment of duty under protest does not itself create an appealable order. As no appellate order existed for the remaining thirty-eight Bills of Entry, those appeals were dismissed as not maintainable.
