A. N. Deringer, Inc. v. United States

Opinion by Cline, J. At the trial Government counsel conceded that the issue is the same as that involved in United States v. Myers & Co. (11 Ct. Cust. Appls. 409, T. D. 39322). On the record presented it was held that 10 percent of the total weight of the imported merchandise is dutiable at 5 percent ad valorem under paragraph 1530 (a), as modified by the trade agreement with Paraguay (T. D. 51649), and that the balance thereof is dutiable at 3 cents per pound under paragraph 701.
