Please see the following clarification and examples to clear your doubt.
Goods must be movable - Thus, immovable property or property attached to earth is not ‘goods’ and hence duty cannot be levied on it - Kailash Oil Cake Industries v. CCE - 1993 (63) ELT 693 (CEGAT). Duty cannot be levied on immovable property - National Radio v. CCE - 1995 (76) 436 (CEGAT).
Goods must be Marketable - The item must be such that it is capable of being bought or sold. This is the test of ‘Marketability’. The goods must be known in the market. Unless this test of marketability is satisfied, duty cannot be levied as these will not be goods. [This is also termed as 'Vendibility Test']. This view, expressed in UOI v. Delhi Cloth Mills - AIR 1963 SC 791 = 1963 (Suppl.) (1) SCR 586 = 1977 (1) ELT (J 177) (SC 5 member Constitution bench), has been consistently followed by Supreme Court in subsequent cases and by all High Courts. It was held that to become ‘goods’ an article must be something which can ordinarily come to market to be bought and sold.
