CC, New Delhi reported in 2002 (143) E.L.T. 411 (Tri.-LB). In this case, the machinery had to be imported under different consignments. Further, for the purpose of convenience of transportation and packing etc. the same could not have been transported under a single Bill of Entry. On this ground, the proposal of the Department to deny the benefit is not correct. He also relied on the decision of the Tribunal in the case of CC (Import), Mumbai v. Krishna Gears (P) Ltd. reported in 2008 (232) E.L.T. 319 (Tri.) = 2008 (88) RLT 309 (CESTAT-Mum), wherein it was held that Horizontal boring machine imported in three consignments cleared at two different ports are to be treated as second-hand machine and not as parts of used mac .....

As has been observed thereunder, when it is imported as part of generating set, it would have been classified under CTH 8502.13, whereas, when it was imported separately, it was covered separately under Heading 8537.10.

Commissioner had held that the appellants are not eligible for the benefit of notification and when the party came in appeal, the Tribunal had not granted stay with the observation that there is no quantification of the demand and therefore, there would not be any stay.
