Logitech Wins Customs Row, Is Granted Duty-Free Treatment for Webcams
August 24, 2021 |Bulletin

The Court of International Trade ruled that Logitech's webcams and ConferenceCams shall be classified under Harmonized Tariff Schedule subheading 8517, receiving duty-free treatment. In an Aug. 24 ruling, Judge Leo Gordon applied a use analysis to the webcams and ConferenceCams to determine if they belonged under subheading 8517, as Logitech suggested, or subheading 8525, dutiable at 2.1%, as the government suggested. Ultimately finding that the goods fit under both headings, Gordon went with 8517 as the proper classification for the products since it describes them "with a greater degree of accuracy and certainty."
