Cases detail decisions on standards for reformulated and conventional gasoline, taxes on alcoholic beverages, and restrictions on imports of cotton and man-made fiber underwear, as well as measures affecting desiccated coconut, a measure affecting imports of woven wool shirts from India, a regime for the importation and sale of bananas, and patent protection of pharmaceutical and agricultural products.
