Imported women's jackets were held to be woven not knitted; therefore classification under Customs Chapter 62 (heading 6202 93 90) is correct and revenue succeeds on classification. The article explains distinguishing woven from knitted garments and rejects the importer's self-declared knitted classification. However, the tribunal found the misclassification arose from erroneous self-assessment rather than fraud, collusion or willful misstatement; consequently extended limitation for duty recovery and penalty liability under the fraud/collusion standard cannot be invoked. Overall outcome: classification upheld for revenue, but penalty and extended-period enforcement were not sustained; appeal partly allowed.
