1Opinion of the Court

OPINION

MUSGRAVE, Judge.

The Customs Service classified imported liquid crystals used in liquid crystal displays as “chemical mixtures” under item 407.16 TSUS. Plaintiff protested this classification, claiming the liquid crystals are finished commercial parts used exclusively in the manufacture of liquid crystal displays, thus qualifying as parts of “indicator panels or other visual signalling apparatus” under item 685.70 TSUS. Held: Plaintiff has overcome the presumption of correctness of the government’s classification; liquid crystals are properly classified under item 685.70 TSUS.
