Permagrain Products, Inc. v. The United States

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit
Permagrain Products, Inc. v. The United States, 791 F.2d 914 (Fed. Cir. 1986)
7 I.T.R.D. (BNA) 2487; 1986 U.S. App. LEXIS 20090

Permagrain Products, Inc. v. The United States

Opinion

NIES, Circuit Judge.

Permagrain Products, Inc. appeals from the final judgment of the United States Court of International Trade in Case No. 81-12-01644, entered September 4, 1985, 623 F.Supp. 1246, which upheld the United States Customs Service’s classification of the subject merchandise under item 202.60 of the Tariff Schedules of the United States (TSUS). We affirm.

OPINION

The imported merchandise was classified by Customs as “other hardwood flooring” under item 202.60 of the TSUS. Perma-grain challenged that classification, contending that the merchandise was properly classifiable as “hardwood lumber, rough, dressed or worked” under item 202.42 of the TSUS. The Court of International Trade, in a thorough opinion authored by Chief Judge Re, considered the extensive testimony and other evidence presented and held that Customs’ classification of the merchandise under item 202.60 of the TSUS was correct. Having considered Per-magrain’s arguments presented in the appeal, we are unpersuaded that the Court of International Trade committed any errors of law, or that any of its findings are clearly erroneous. See Daw Industries, Inc. v. United States, 714 F.2d 1140, 1142 (Fed.Cir. 1983). We affirm on the basis of Chief Judge Re’s opinion.

AFFIRMED.
