..... ces, it would appear that the imports of the appellants do contain a higher percentage of aromatic constituent than prescribed for classification under Heading 2710. The alternate heading which describes the imported goods to be waste brings it under the ambit of Hazardous Waste (Management, Handling Trans-Boundary Movement) Rules, 2008 and therefore, liable for action under Section 111 and Section 112 of Customs Act, 1962. 5.
