Headnote | Indian Customs Tariff Act, 1934 (32 of 1934), Item Nos. 26, 70(7) and 87 - Wolfram ore containing tungsten ore of 75% - Whether assessable under Item 26 or Item 70(7) or under residuary ltem 87. The appellant imported wolfram ore. The Customs Authorities classified the said ore under the residuary Item 87 of the Indian Customs Tariff and charged duty at the rate of 60% ad valorem. Metallic ores (Item 26) and cobalt, chromium, tungsten magnesium etc. [Item No. 70(7)1 are allowed to be imported free of duty. The aforesaid classification was upheld by the Assistant Collector of Customs and the appeal to the Commissioner of Customs was dismissed. The appellant's revision petition under s. 131 of the Customs Act to the Government was also dismissed. In the appeal to this Court it was contended on behalf of the appellant that the imported ore contained a concentrate of 74% of tungsten from wolfram and the rest were impurities, that the concentration was the result of 'selective mining' process which involves crushing, washing and magnetic separation that in better quality ore the content may be as high as 79 % and that even after being subjected to such process, the ore concentrate does not cease to be tungsten 'ore' within the contemplation of Item 70(7) of the Indian Customs Tariff. |
