Roasted areca nut classification was not entertained because the issue was already covered by the Madras HC and, on the applicant's own moisture-content description of 10% to 15%, the goods were treated as raw areca nuts under heading 0802, not roasted nuts. For other nuts, the tariff and HSN notes were applied on the basis that roasting is a distinct process from drying or preservation; roasted cashew nuts fell under CTI 20081910, while roasted almond nuts and roasted pista nuts fell under CTI 20081991 as other roasted nuts. The preferential exemption under Notification No. 46/2011-Cus was held available only on proof of origin to the satisfaction of the proper officer under the applicable origin rules.
