Classification dispute over imported HP Latex printers turned on whether devices are standalone inkjet printers or printing machines 'capable of connecting to an automatic data processing machine or to a network'; factual characteristics, connectivity, substrate size and installation requirements supported classification as printing machines, and the adjudicating authority's tariff classification is upheld.
