M/S. XEROX INDIA LTD. vs COMMNR. OF CUSTOMS, MUMBAI

The Supreme Court addressed the classification of imported Multi-Functional Machines under the Customs Tariff Act, specifically whether they fall under Chapter Heading 8471.60 or 8479.89. The Court upheld the Tribunal's decision, affirming that the machines do not qualify as automatic data processing units since they can operate independently of a computer, thus necessitating classification under the residual heading 8479.89. The appeal was dismissed, confirming the lower authorities' classification of the machines.
