....c. are to be classified under sub-heading 3925.99 since they are specific to any one of the articles specified under sub-heading 3925.99 or that un-assembled doors and windows are articles enumerated under Note 11(b). He, further, mentioned that in terms of Rule 2(a) of the Interpretative Rules, a heading to goods shall be taken to include a reference to those goods removed un-assembled; that thus the doors and windows in un-assembled condition continue to fall under sub-heading 3925.20; that this position is also evident from HSN Explanatory Notes to Rule 2(a) which stipulates that for the purpose of Rule 2(a), articles presented un-assembled means articles the components of which are to be assembled either by means of simple fixing device....

....i V. Valte, learned SDR submitted that the Appellants themselves had classified the impugned products under sub-heading 3925.99 of the Tariff; that they clear the impugned goods individually showing separate values and as such cannot claim them to be unassembled doors and windows; that this is evident from the invoices raised by the Appellants; that the impugned goods cleared by the Appellants are not even doors and windows in CKD and thus do not merit classification under sub-heading 3925.20; that doors and windows are structures and the elements used in their manufacture, that is the impugned goods, would be classifiable under sub-heading 3925.99 of the Tariff.

As the goods are neither doors/windows nor their frames nor thresholds for door, their classification under sub-heading 3925.20 is ruled out. As the products are specially designed for doors/windows, these are builders' ware of plastics which are classifiable under Heading 39.25 of the Central Excise Tariff.
