Daimler Chrysler Corp. made some 1993 and 1994 model year trucks at assembly plants in Mexico. That assembly involved sheet metal components sent from the U.S. Daimler Chrysler subjected some of the parts to a complicated treatment process, which included the application of coats of paint to prevent corrosion, impart color, and protect the finish. Under federal law, goods that are assembled abroad using U.S.-made parts can be imported tariff free. A federal statute provides that painting is "incidental" to assembly and does not affect the status of the goods. A fedcral regulation states that "painting primarily intended to enhance the appearance of an article or to impart distinctive features or characteristics" is not incidental. the U.S. Customs Service levied a tariff on the trucks. Daimler Chrysler filed a suit in the U.S. Court of International Trade, challenging the levy. Should the court rule in Daimler Chrysler's favor? Why or why not? You be the judge (and we'll scc if your decision is the one the court actually made;))
