Pongees Corp. v. United States

Opinion by Ford, J. The record established that certain items of the involved merchandise consist of woven silk fabrics, valued at more than $5.50 per pound, the same in all material respects as those passed upon in Walter Strassburger & Co., Inc., et al. v.

D. 48316, and that which was imported or withdrawn from warehouse subsequent to said date is dutiable at 25 percent under said paragraph, as modified by T. D. 51802,
