Inc., v. the United States, Slip Op. 06-49, Court No. 00-00061, dated April 7,
2006, the Court considered all factors in evidence to determine essential
character and that these factors were to be reviewed as a whole. See Slip Op.
06-49, for a listing of factors reviewed. Consistent with The Home Depot case,
we will consider all facts as presented, assign weight to those facts, and if
possible decide which of the constituent materials or components impart the
essential character to the item referenced above.

components (i.e., base metal, rubber, textile and glass) and is considered a
composite good.
