United States Federal Circuit

In a customs case concerning the proper classification of ten styles of plaintiff's back-mounted packs, the decision of the US Court of International Trade denying plaintiff's motion for summary judgment, granting the government's cross-motion for summary judgment, and holding that the merchandise at issue was properly classified as “travel, sports, and similar bags” under subheading 4202.92.30 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (“HTSUS”), is reversed where the Court clearly erred in finding that the subject articles are nothing more than improved backpacks.
