The Collector determined the motors to be domestic items, leading to confiscation, a fine of Rs. 4,00,000, and a penalty of Rs. 1,00,000. The appellant contested this decision, arguing industrial use based on speed rating, but the inability to produce sales literature weakened their case. The Tribunal differentiated the motors from goods requiring further processing, emphasizing their simplicity of use. The appeal was dismissed, upholding the fine but remitting the penalty in full due to insufficient evidence and circumstances of the case. en-us Thu, 17 Aug 2000 00:00:00 +0530 Fri, 20 Jan 2012 12:03:34 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=98337 The case revolved around the classification of imported sewing machine motors as "consumer goods" under the Exim Policy.
