Poultry Feed classification allowed free import where goods were not treated as restricted Compounded Animal Feed.

Imported goods described in supporting material as a poultry feed supplement were treated as falling within the generic category of Poultry Feed rather than Compounded Animal Feed or Concentrate for Compounded Feed. That classification mattered because Poultry Feed was freely importable under the relevant ITC (HS) entry, so the customs restriction attached to compounded feed did not apply. The customs classification adopting a restricted entry was therefore not sustained, and the goods were regarded as freely importable as Poultry Feed under ITC (HS) Code 23099003.10.

Issues: Whether the imported goods were classifiable as restricted 'Compounded Animal Feed' or as freely importable 'Poultry Feed'.

Analysis: The goods were described by supporting material as a poultry feed supplement. On the record, they were held to fall within the generic term 'Poultry Feed' rather than 'Compounded Animal Feed' or 'Concentrate for Compounded Feed'. Since the relevant import entry for poultry feed permitted free import, the classification adopted by the customs authority was not sustained.

Conclusion: The goods were held to be freely importable as 'Poultry Feed' under ITC (HS) Code 23099003.10, not restricted as 'Compounded Animal Feed'.
