REASONS FOR JUDGMENT OF THE COURT

(Delivered from the Bench at Ottawa, Ontario, on September 21, 2010)

NADON J.A.

[1]               Notwithstanding Mr. Kaylor’s forceful arguments, we are all of the view that, on the record before us, the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (the “CITT”) made no reviewable error in concluding that the goods in issue should be classified under tariff item no. 3920.99.91, i.e.: “… other plastics… [o]f polymers of tetrafluoroethylene, of epoxide resins, of polyurethanes or of polyvinylidene chloride.”

 

[2]               In other words, we have not been persuaded that the CITT’s decision is unreasonable.

 

[3]               Consequently, the appeal will be dismissed with costs.

 

 

“M. Nadon”

J.A.
