Applying the Customs Tariff Act, 1975 and GIR Rule 2(a), the AAR held classification and coverage must be determined by the condition of goods at import, and incomplete goods are treated as complete only if they possess the essential character of the finished machine. Relying on DGTR final findings that such machines are complex integrated systems, it found a laser source lacks independent functionality and essential character.
