Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed the classification of imported goods under the Customs Tariff Act, specifically challenging the decision of the Original Authority which classified the items under Chapter 90 instead of Chapter 84. The Court held that the items in question, including PXI Controllers and Input/Output Modules, were indeed parts of a complete measurement system and not computers as claimed by the importer. The Court upheld the Tribunal's decision, affirming that the goods were correctly classified under Chapter 90 due to their specific industrial use and functionality, thus rejecting the appeal of the importer.
