Case History
Summary The Supreme Court allowed Speedway Rubber Co.'s appeal, ruling that vulcanized rubber treads used for retreading tyres should be classified under tariff sub-heading 4008.21 (exempt) rather than 4016.99 (dutiable). The court determined that the manufacturing process involving hydraulic pressing constituted "surface working" rather than "further working" under Note 9 of Chapter 40, and that the more specific heading 4008.21 should prevail over the general heading 4016.99.
