The Supreme Court dismissed the customs company's appeal against a customs decision prohibiting the import of a garbage truck. The company argued that classifying the vehicle under tariff code 8705 was standard practice, but the court found this classification binding under the Customs Cooperation Council Convention. The court ruled that the company failed to prove a contrary industry practice and ignored its own vehicle documents, leading to a dismissal of the appeal.
