The “artificial intelligence” which was in theory books in the 90s, has become a reality today in various applications. Technology has been exceeding our thoughts and imagination. Thanks to the rapid advancement in technology everywhere, smart devices/ wireless devices are being invented every now and then and India has a fair share in importing these smart devices and wireless devices which are increasing day by day. The question remains whether the Customs TariffAct, 1962 (‘TariffAct’) has evolved with corresponding technological advancements?
