The government issued a notification updating tariff value tables for key commodities, largely retaining existing values with effect from 14 January 2026.
The Authority examined whether imported girls’ slips resembled brassieres and held that absence of support features placed them under knitted underclothing. The ruling confirms classification under Heading 6108 for slips made of synthetic fibres.
The issue concerned classification of a beverage processing aid containing Polysorbate 65. The Authority held that it met Chapter 34 criteria and classified it as a non-ionic organic surface-active agent.
The case examined whether rugged portable devices with scanning and connectivity features should be treated as communication equipment. The Authority held that since data processing is the principal function, the devices are classifiable as portable ADP machines under Tariff Item 84713090.
The Authority rejected the application as the applicant failed to rectify notified deficiencies despite reminders. The ruling underscores that procedural compliance is mandatory before an advance ruling can be considered on merits.
The authority examined whether a flaxseed-based extract was a medicament or a vegetable extract. It ruled that a single plant extract with inert carriers, imported in bulk, falls under Heading 1302 as a vegetable extract.
The ruling examined whether a microencapsulated iron product should be treated as a chemical preparation or a food supplement. It held that products with nutritive value used for human consumption fall under Heading 2106.
The ruling examined whether an enzyme-based premix used only in animal feed should be treated as an enzyme or a feed preparation. The Authority held that exclusive use as an animal feed premix justified classification under Heading 2309 rather than the enzyme heading.
The government extended the existing anti-dumping duty while a sunset review is underway. The duty will continue up to July 12, 2026, unless changed earlier.
The issue before the Authority was the classification of evaporators and condensers. It held that heat exchangers imported separately are classifiable as parts, but follow the main unit’s classification when imported together in CKD/SKD condition.
