(A-361-02; 2003 FCA 220; 2003 CAF 220)
Indexed As: Sable Offshore Energy Inc. v. Canada Customs and Revenue Agency (Commissioner)
Federal Court of Appeal
Rothstein, Noël and Nadon, JJ.A.
May 14, 2003.
Summary:
Sable Offshore Energy Inc. (Sable) appealed a decision of the Canadian International Trade Tribunal respecting the tariff classification of a certain line pipe imported by Sable.
The Federal Court of Appeal allowed the appeal.
Customs - Topic 5005
Classification for duty - General - Time for classification - Sable appealed a decision of the Canadian International Trade Tribunal respecting the tariff classification of a line pipe imported by Sable - Sable had argued that the line part was a component of a functional unit (a gas-processing machine) and should have been reclassified under a different tariff item - The Federal Court of Appeal held that the Customs Act or the Customs Tariff did not preclude the classification of components of a functional unit under the tariff item appropriate to that functional unit when the other components of that unit were classified otherwise and were no longer eligible to be reclassified due to the expiry of the time period for their reclassification - See paragraphs 14 to 28.
