2015 (12) TMI 654 - AT - CustomsLevy of CVD - whether or not goods imported by the Respondent under B/E No. 441168 dt 11/11/08 under RMS procedure, were cable Jointing kits not leviable to CVD as per CBEC Circular No. 583/20/2001-CX dt 20/08/2001 issued from F. No. 151/18/96-Ex-4 - Held that:- First appellate authority has held that the goods imported were described as cable jointing kits which is being contested by the Revenue that description in the B/E was given on the basis of product code & not as cable jointing kit. It is also the case of the Revenue in the grounds of appeal that classification of the imported goods was claimed by the Respondent under CTH/CETH 85359090 & not as cable Jointing kit under CTH/CETH 8547 - Respondent had to justify with documentary evidence that the goods imported were in fact 'Cable Jointing kit' falling under CTH / CETA 85.47. After deciding the classification of the imported goods, it is also required to be examined whether the ratio of case law M/S XL Telecom Ltd & others decided by Andhra Pradesh High court and the case law of M/s REPL & others dismissal by Supreme Court will be applicable to imported goods. Even if placing all the imported articles in one kit (as 'Cable jointing kits') does not amount to manufacture, whether the ratio laid down by the courts debar charging of CVD on individual articles as such when imported. In the interest of Justice the order passed by the first appellate authority is set aside and the case is required to be remanded back to the assessing officer as no speaking assessment order has been passed by the Lower authority on the issue of classification of imported goods. - Matter remanded back - Decided in favour of Revenue.
