What is Nix v. Hedden: Tomato as Vegetable Ruling about?

In the Supreme Court case Nix v. Hedden (1893), the court ruled that tomatoes are classified as vegetables under the Tariff Act of 1883, despite their botanical classification as fruits. The decision was based on the ordinary meaning of the terms used in trade and commerce. As a result, shipments of tomatoes were subject to import duties applicable to vegetables.
