He held that as these items were not specifically mentioned in Chapter 84 or Chapter 85 their classification under Heading 84.66 was correct as claimed by the appellants.

The show cause notice is dated 21-9-1987 and the duty had been demanded for the period 1-3-1986 to 30-6-1987. As the goods had not been properly described in the classification list and in view of the specific allegations of suppression and misdeclaration in the show cause notice we consider that the Tribunal s decision in the case of Air Conditioning Corpn. New Delhi v. CCE - 1985 (19) E.L.T. 206 (T) is not applicable. The goods manufactured by the appellants covered a very wide area and the goods had been desc .....
