Heading: Ninth Characteristic

Text: Appellant JTEKT argues that Commerce should have included a ninth characteristic in the methodthe presence or absence of lubrication. JTEKT argues that lubrication affects the potential application of the ball bearings. But we have held that the potential application of a product is not decisive of its classification. Koyo Seiko Co. v. United States, 66 F.3d 1204, 1210 (Fed.Cir.1995). Further, we have held that Congress has granted Commerce considerable discretion to determine what constitutes foreign like product under the statute. SKF II, 537 F.3d at 1379. Thus, we will not second guess Commerce's determination that it selected the appropriate eight characteristics that result in accurate matches for the subject merchandise.
