..... for customer who put them on the containers of goods manufactured by them (customers). - Even in the absence of a dictionary meaning we find no reason not to consider a label or sticker especially in view of the fact that the metal labels are also mentioned in Clause 4(e). An interpretation of Clause 4(e) to the effect that stickers would mean only gummed labels is not borne by sound reasoning. We do not appreciate the thin line of distinction being attempted by Revenue to differentiate between the stickers and labels.

He referred to the order-in-original which observed that the invoice under which the goods were supplied showed the description as printed labels which are classifiable under tariff item No. 48211020 under specific description meant only for labels.
