CESTAT Rules Generators for Gas Turbine Engines Must Be Classified Under CTH 8501, Not CTH 8511 | Aviation Sector Impacted
CESTAT clarifies that integrated drive and starter generators for turboprop/turbofan engines fall under Customs Tariff Heading 8501, not 8511, as gas turbines differ from spark/compression ignition engines. This ruling affects aviation industry importers, customs duty calculations, and compliance under the Customs Tariff Act 1975.
