United States Federal Circuit

Judgment of the United States Court of International Trade sustaining the United States Customs Service's classification of laminated flooring panels imported by plaintiff as fiberboard under heading 4411 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedules of the United States (HTSUS), subjecting them to a duty rate of 6% ad valorem, is reversed as the flooring panels should be classified within subheading 4418.90.40, the residual category for builders' joinery where it is subject to a duty of 3.2% ad valorem.
