CIT Caps Long-Running Case of 'Festive Articles' by Ordering Reliquidation of Entries in Heading 9505

The Court of International Trade on Feb. 15 issued a two-page order mandating the reliquidation of certain entries of festive articles imported by Russ Berrie that had been subject to a nearly three-decade-long tariff classification dispute. Appended to the order are several attachments listing the products and entries that are set to be reliquidated, either because of an August 2018 CIT decision that reclassified a few entries (see 1808310039), or because the government and Russ Berrie reached agreement before that decision that the goods should be classified in heading 9505.
