Clause 1C, Notification 04/2006-CE | Packaging with RSP Does Not Invalidate CVD Exemption for Industrial-Use Cement : CESTAT Chennai

CESTAT Chennai rules that imported cement in 50kg bags bearing MRP is eligible for concessional CVD exemption under Clause 1C if demonstrably intended for industrial or institutional use, not retail sale. The decision clarifies that packaging alone cannot override documented end-use, shielding bulk industrial buyers from arbitrary duty demands based on form rather than function.
