This morning, the Federal Circuit released one precedential opinion. It comes in trade case decided by the Court of International Trade. Here is the introduction to the opinion.
Blue Sky the Color of Imagination, LLC v. United States (Precedential)
Blue Sky The Color of Imagination, LLC (Blue Sky) appeals from a final decision by the Court of International Trade (the Trade Court), which sua sponte classified Blue Sky’s imported product as a “diary” under subheading 4820.10.20.10 within the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS). See Blue Sky Color of Imagination, LLC v. United States, 698 F. Supp. 3d 1243, 1245 (Ct. Int’l Trade 2024) (Decision). Blue Sky, on appeal, contends that its imported product should be classified as a “calendar” under Heading 4910 of the HTSUS. Because the Trade Court’s interpretation of “diary” conflicts with how we interpreted the term in Mead Corp. v. United States, 283 F.3d 1342 (Fed. Cir. 2002), we reverse and remand.
