Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the Tribunal's decision classifying Dimethicone under Tariff Item No. 3910.00 as 'Silicones in primary forms', rejecting the appellant's claim for classification under Tariff Item No. 3003.20 for medicaments. The Court referenced the definitions and notes from the Customs Tariff Act, emphasizing that Dimethicone does not qualify as a medicament under the specified headings. The ruling clarified the distinction between industrial and medicinal use of silicones, affirming the Tribunal's interpretation of the tariff items.
