Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the classification of the Appellants' product under Tariff Heading 39.20.38 and 39.23.90, rejecting their claim for classification under Tariff Heading 76.07 and 76.12. The Court emphasized that the product's composition, with plastic predominating (70-80%), warranted its classification as a plastic product rather than aluminum foil. The Court affirmed the Tribunal's findings, stating that it is the final authority on factual matters, and dismissed the appeal.
