Customs Duty Classification: Lubricating Preparations Upheld, Exemption Claim Rejected Under Chapter 3403 Provisions

May 10, 2025

Case Laws     Central Excise     AT

CESTAT determined goods were correctly classified under Chapter 3403 for lubricating preparations, rejecting appellant's claim for exemption under Chapter 1518. The tribunal found no intentional suppression of facts, thus limiting duty demand to normal limitation period and setting aside penalties against both the company and proprietor. Extended limitation period was deemed unsustainable, and no separate penalty was imposed. The appeal was ultimately disposed of, with the appellant required to pay duties within the standard limitation timeframe.
