Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court ruled that the Rack Series System manufactured by the appellant qualifies as a 'Musical System' under old Tariff Item 33F, which includes stereo or hi-fi systems. The Court clarified that the term 'namely' in the tariff item does not limit the definition to the specified items but includes any system commercially known as a stereo or hi-fi system. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, affirming the classification of the system under Tariff Item 33F with no costs awarded.
