CIT rules feed-grade chlortetracycline concentrate is classifiable as an antibiotic under 2941.30.00

In Slip Op. 26-102, Court No. 22-00056, the U.S. Court of International Trade granted Zoetis Services LLC's motion for summary judgment and denied the government's cross-motion, holding that feed-grade chlortetracycline concentrate manufactured in China by Jinhe Biotechnology Co., Ltd. is properly classified as an antibiotic under subheading 2941.30.00 rather than as an animal feed preparation under heading 2309. CBP had liquidated two Chicago entries, dated December 26, 2019 and January 22, 2020, under subheading 2309.90.10 and assessed Section 301 duties under 9903.88.03 at 25 percent ad valorem; the government argued on cross-motion for subheading 2309.90.95 at 1.4 percent.
