Classification of imported goods - The Tribunal underscored the principle that classification should be determined based on the specific descriptions provided in the Tariff Act, favoring specificity over general descriptions. The Tribunal decisively found that: Sea Squad Swim Seats and Arm Bands were more aptly classified under the heading for water sports equipment, given their specific use for swimming activities, particularly for children, which does not diminish their classification as sports equipment. - Swimming Goggles, Headgear, and Fabric Hats were determined to be incorrectly classified under a general heading for sports equipment. Instead, they were found to be more accurately classified under their respective specific headings related to their actual use and material composition. - In conclusion, the Tribunal allowed the appeals filed by the importer, granting them the benefit of lower duty rates.
