Because the importer had filed invoices, catalogues and technical write-ups, and there was no requirement to declare the constituent material in the Bill of Entry, suppression of material facts or misdeclaration for the past period was not established.

Classification on the clarified basis was affirmed for the subsequent period. en-us Fri, 11 Apr 2025 00:00:00 +0530 Mon, 23 Jun 2025 08:42:52 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=773404 Filter elements were initially classified under Tariff Item 84219900 on a bona fide understanding, and a later Board circular clarified that their classification depends on the constituent material, with paper-based elements falling under the relevant paper headings while filters remain under Heading 84.21.
