United States Federal Circuit
Otter Products, LLC v. US, 15-1866
In an international trade action, arising after the government classified plaintiff's protective cases for smartphones as 'similar containers' under subheading 4202.99.00 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), subject to a 20% ad valorem tariff rate, the Court of International Trade's grant of summary judgment to plaintiff is affirmed where the merchandise at issue was properly found not to be a container and thus properly classified as 'other articles of plastics' under HTSUS subheading 3926.90.99, subject to a 5.3% duty rate.
