The Court of International Trade on Nov. 25 flipped its decision on the classification of Honeywell's precut, radial, chordal and web fabric pieces used in airplane brakes, finding on reconsideration that they are classifiable as fabrics under subheading 6307.90.98. Previously, Judge Mark Barnett had ruled the segments were "parts of an aircraft" under duty-free subheading 8803.20.00, but Barnett now found that, while the fabric pieces are finished parts of needled preforms, those preforms aren't finished parts, or blanks, of final brake discs. In doing so, he defined a "blank" as an article that undergoes finishing operations and not a substantial transformation.

Steel plate exporters Hyundai Steel and Dongkuk Steel Mill filed a pair of reply briefs at the Court of International Trade on Nov. 20, contesting the Commerce Department's de facto specificity regarding South Korea's discounted off-peak electricity prices in the 2022 administrative review of the countervailing duty order on cut-to-length carbon-quality steel plate from South Korea. Both companies contested Commerce's grouping of three unrelated industries to find that the steel industry received a disproportionate amount of the subsidy (Hyundai Steel v. United States, CIT Consol. # 24-00190).

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit on Nov. 17 held that five types of medical foods imported by Nutricia North America are properly classified as "medicaments" and not as "food preparations." Judges Sharon Prost, Richard Taranto and Leonard Stark overruled the Court of International Trade's decision, which came to the opposite conclusion, finding that Nutricia's products are properly found to be medicaments under duty-free Harmonized Tariff Schedule subheading 3004.50.5040.
