DEAR SH.RAVINDRA KINDRE JI,

In this context, it is pertinent to see notification no.3/2006-CE dated 1.3.2006 which stands superseded vide Notification No.12/12-CE dated 17.3.12 which will clear your doubts about classification and rate of duty. I think proper heading is 2106 90 99. I could not find 2106.90.90 in Central Excise Tariff/Customs Tariff.

Dear Ravindraji,

potato chips will fall under chapter 20052000 as per judgement of frito lays, except this all item will fall under chapter 2106.

while availing concessional rate noti.no.01/2011 you can't take cenvat credit & discharge duty @ 2%. but if you want to avail cenvat credit duty rate is 6%.

your product covered under MRP based valuation & abatement is 35%.

Please confirm you will sale this item under your brand name or using the brand name of other's. if you are using other's brand name you can not take benefit of SSI exemption.

Please feel free to contact me if you require more detail on this as i have recently handle this type of case.
