Advance Ruling — Classification of goods — Skin care preparation — The Applicant manufactures skin care preparations and wants an Advance Ruling on the Classification of 33 of its products. The Applicant argues that its skin care preparations are Ayurvedic Medicaments. They are meant for therapeutic or prophylactic uses, put up in packaging for retail sale and entirely correspond to the description of goods under HSN 3004 [serial no. 63 of Notification No. 1/2017-CT(Rate) dated 28/06/2017], and, therefore, taxable under Schedule II. Authority for Advance Ruling West Bengal held that:—Preparations for the care of the skin namely, Rupam (Pimple Pack) and Pailab (Anti-Crack Cream), in the list submitted by the Applicant of the Application are classifiable as Medicament under heading 3004 of the Customs Tariff Act, 1975. Preparations listed as Swarnajyoti, Sunayana and Tarumitra-60 have not yet come into existence, and, therefore, no rulings are pronounced on their classification. The remaining products mentioned in the list submitted by them are not offered primarily as medicaments and, therefore, not to be included under heading 3004.[2018] 51 TUD 1 (AAR-WB)
