https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=107398 Plastic bobbins and spools supplied to transformer manufacturers were treated as articles of plastics under Chapter 39, not as transformer parts under Heading 8504. The classification turned on their essential character and the tariff notes governing plastics, rather than their intended use in transformer winding. Metallic pins did not change the predominant plastic character of the goods, and DGFT input-output norms could not override clear tariff classification. The analysis therefore supports classification of the items as plastic goods rather than machinery parts, reflecting the primacy of tariff description and exclusion notes in classification disputes. en-us Fri, 11 Apr 2003 00:00:00 +0530 Thu, 22 Mar 2012 11:58:56 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=107398 Plastic bobbins and spools supplied to transformer manufacturers were treated as articles of plastics under Chapter 39, not as transformer parts under Heading 8504.
