(United States Federal Circuit) - Affirmed the denial of an importer's challenge to an import duty levied by U.
S. Customs and Border Protection. The company argued that the right duty rate on its imported light-emitting diode (LED) candles was 2 percent rather than 3.9 percent. On appeal from the U.
S. Court of International Trade, the Federal Circuit agreed with the government that the LED candles fell within a classification that was subject to a 3.9 percent import duty. The panel thus affirmed summary judgment for the government.
