DECISION

The appeals are allowed. The Canadian International Trade Tribunal finds that the goods are medicaments of heading 30.04.

Pursuant to subsection 67(3) of the Customs Act, the Tribunal orders the President of the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) to refund any duties paid by Atrium Innovations Inc. (Atrium) as a result of the CBSA’s improper direction to Atrium that it had “reason to believe” that all its importations of the goods in issue, or of goods that are like the goods in issue, had to be classified under heading 21.06.
