Mumbai: A body massager can’t be categorised as an adult sex toy and hence cannot be included in the list of items prohibited for import, Bombay High Court ruled.
A division bench of Justices Girish Kulkarni and Kishor Sant quashed an order passed by the Customs department confiscating consignments containing body massagers, PTI reported.
The Commissioner of Customs had confiscated the body massagers, claiming that those could be used as adult sex toys and such items are prohibited for import.
However, the high court opined it was the figment of imagination of the Commissioner of Customs that a body massager could be used as an adult sex toy.
The two-member bench dismissed the Commissioner’s plea challenging a May 2023 order passed by Central Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal whereby Custom department’s order confiscating consignments containing body massagers was set aside.
