Kwong Yuen Shing v. United States

PLATT, District Judge. The importations in question consist of certain duck meat imported from China. I think “meats of all kinds, prepared or preserved” (paragraph 275, act of 1897), better describes the importations than does “poultry * * * dressed” (paragraph 278). This latter term certainly cannot be said to aptly describe, either in a common or tariff sense, articles which have been treated before importation as these have admittedly been. The decision of the Board is therefore affirmed.
