Before MARKEY, Chief Judge, and RICH, BALDWIN, MILLER and NIES, Judges.

BALDWIN, Judge.

This is an appeal from the judgment of the United States Customs Court (now the United States Court of International Trade), 83 Cust.Ct., C.D. 4855, 496 F.Supp. 1311 (1980), sustaining the appellee’s claim that the imported merchandise in issue, known as a power failure light, was improperly classified as a flashlight under item 683.70 of the Tariff Schedules of the United States (TSUS) and was correctly classifiable as electrical articles, not specifically provided for, under item 688.40.* We affirm.

OPINION

We agree with the holding of the Court of International Trade that the imported power failure lights were incorrectly classified as “flashlights” and should be classified as “[ejlectrical articles * * * not specifically provided for.” Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the court and adopt the court’s opinion as our own.
