The ruling rejected arguments that Commerce improperly initiated the scope review and that the determinations lacked substantial evidence.

Blue Sky the Color of Imagination LLC v. United States - Planner Classification

The United States Court of International Trade granted the government's cross-motion for summary judgment and denied plaintiff Blue Sky the Color of Imagination, LLC's motion, ruling that the importer's weekly/monthly planners are properly classified as 'other' articles under HTSUS subheading 4820.10.40 rather than as calendars under heading 4910. This decision follows Federal Circuit reversal of an earlier CIT ruling that had classified the planners as diaries under subheading 4820.10.20. The classification determines applicable duty rates for imported planning products.
