I find that it is an admitted fact on record that the impugned imported goods were educational charts which imparted knowledge in respect of elementary learning such as language, grammar, mathematical, botanical, zoological, basic hygiene etc., and the said charts were printed single sheets and were not in bound form or with a binder. So far as appellants plea for classification of the above educational charts under Custom Tariff Heading 4905 (Sub-Heading 4905 99 90), is concerned, I find that Customs Tariff Heading 4905 covers maps and hydrographic or similar charts of all kinds, including atlases, wall maps, topographical plans and globes, printed and as per HSN Explanatory Notes, Chapter Heading 4905 covers all printed globes (for example, terrestrial, lunar or celestial), maps, charts and plans designed to represent the natural or artificial features of countries, town seas, the heavens, etc. conventional signs being used to indicate contours etc, therefore the basic purpose of maps, chart, plans as covered under above Chapter 4905, is to represent the natural or artificial feature of countries, town, .....

He also stated that he would seek for permission only to re-ship the goods without fine an penalty. 4. Thereupon he argued on the merit of the appeal with regard to the ITC angle.

In the instant case also the impugned educational charts contained pictures for imparting knowledge in respect of elementary learning such as language,. Grammar, mathematical botanical, zoological, basic hygiene etc. and hence the said goods are rightly classifiable under Chapter Heading 4911 99 90 as ordered in the impugned Order in Original.
