REASONS FOR JUDGMENT OF THE COURT

(Delivered from the Bench at Ottawa, Ontario, on December 9, 2009)

NADON J.A.

[1]               We have not been persuaded that the Canadian International Trade Tribunal made any reviewable error when it concluded that the royalty component of the invoices sent to the appellant by Diesel U.S.A. Inc. constituted, within the meaning of subparagraph 48(5)(a)(iv) of the Customs Act, R.S.C. 1985, c.1 (2nd Supp), a condition of sale of the goods at issue.

 

 

[2]               Accordingly, the appeal will be dismissed with costs.
