Distinctness of software and hardware for customs valuation was reaffirmed: software supplied with imported machines is ordinarily distinct and not includable in the assessable value unless the legal tests for treating hardware and software as a single assessable good are satisfied; on the facts the Tribunal rejected inclusion of software value in diamond scanning machines and did not sustain the Commissioner's valuation.
