Issues: Whether "Tees and Crosses" are classifiable under Customs Tariff Heading 7307 22 00 as threaded elbows, bends and sleeves, or under Customs Tariff Heading 7307 29 00 as other.
Analysis: The dispute turned on tariff classification of the goods. The stated entry 7307 22 00 is a specific heading covering threaded elbows, bends and sleeves, whereas 7307 29 00 is a residual entry for other goods. On the facts, the goods were held to fall within the specific entry and not within the broader residuary description.
Conclusion: The goods are classifiable under Customs Tariff Heading 7307 22 00 and not under Customs Tariff Heading 7307 29 00.
Final Conclusion: The appeals fail and the classification adopted by the Tribunal stands affirmed.
Ratio Decidendi: A specific tariff entry governs classification where the goods answer its description, and a residuary entry cannot be invoked in preference to the specific entry.
