Ford Motor Company v. United States
Petition for certiorari denied on June 29, 2020
Issues: (1) Whether the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit erred in holding,
contrary to Supreme Court precedent, that a product’s post-importation modification and use can
determine its classification under a tariff heading that is not statutorily “controlled by use”; and (2) whether the Federal Circuit erred in holding, in
conflict with the decisions of the other 12
circuits, that an appellee must brief issues not
decided by the trial court or raised by the appellant to preserve them for remand.
