We observe that the Collector (Appeals) in the impugned order has remanded the matter regarding classification of steel balls to the Assistant Collector and as the issue involved is in a very narrow compass, we take the appeal for decision.\n<\/p>\n<p>3. We heard Shri Jagdish Singh, ld. DR, who submitted that the Assistant Collector should be given freedom to decide the classification without binding by the functional aspect of the product, in question. He also mentioned that during this period, the matter has also been decided by the Tribunal in other appeals.\n<\/p>\n<p>4. As the Collector (Appeals) has only remanded the matter to the Assistant Collector for reconsidering the classification, we do not interfere with the order. However, we make the modification that the Assistant Collector is free to decide the classification of the product, in question after considering all the aspects and not only functional aspect and as per the law after considering the decisions, if any, on the subject. The appeal is disposed of in above terms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Customs, Excise and Gold Tribunal &#8211; Delhi Collector Of Central Excise vs U.S. Enterprises on 13 October, 1999 Equivalent citations: 2000 (68) ECC 97, 2000 (115) ELT 755 Tri Del ORDER V.K.
