Transmission shafts, gears, gear boxes and allied machine parts manufactured for agricultural machinery were classifiable under Heading 8483, because Note 2(a) to Section XVI required goods specifically covered by a Chapter 84 heading to be classified there even if they were designed for a particular machine. The Tribunal also accepted that amounts reversed under Rule 6(3) on a bona fide exemption belief had to be adjusted against any duty liability, and cum-duty benefit was admissible where no duty was separately collected. The demand, however, was held time-barred: the dispute turned on tariff interpretation, suppression with intent to evade was not proved, and the extended period could not be invoked.
