Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the classification of 'Actuators' under the Central Excise Tariff Act, 1985, specifically under sub-heading 85.43 or heading 85.01. The Court upheld the CEGAT's decision that 'Actuators' are classifiable under heading 85.01, distinguishing it from previous rulings such as CCE v. Guindy Machines Pvt. Ltd. and Audco India Ltd. The Court confirmed that the product's classification aligns with the Explanatory Notes of H.S.N., thus affirming the revenue's stance and dismissing the appeals.
