Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the classification of imported goods under Chapter 90 instead of Chapter 84, as determined by the Original Authority and affirmed by the Commissioner of Customs (Appeals). The Court found that the goods, including PXI Controllers and other components, were specifically designed for measurement and control purposes, not as computers or parts thereof, thus aligning with the definitions under Section 2 of the Customs Act, 1962. The Court dismissed the appeal of the importer, affirming the lower authorities' findings regarding the nature and intended use of the imported items.
