Auto Parts Importer Says CBP Wrongly Classified NOx Sensors Alongside Spectrometers
February 2, 2022 by Ben Perkins|Litigation

An auto parts importer said the Department of Justice is overcomplicating and misstating the use of its diesel engine nitrogen oxide (NOx) sensors in defense of CBP's classification of the sensors as instruments for chemical analysis under Harmonized Tariff Schedule heading 9027. In a brief filed Jan. 31, Continental Automotive Systems says the NOx sensors, used to measure the amount of nitrogen oxide for emissions purposes, are instead provided for in heading 9026 as measurement devices (Continental Automotive Systems, Inc. v. U.S., CIT #18-00026).
