Protest 931976-G of E. E. Marks Co.

Opinion of the Court

Opinion by

Cline, J.

It appeared that the anise seed is not capable of being marked. It was packed in bags which were marked “Product of Tongking.” The goods were shipped from Marseilles, Prance. It appeared that Tongking is a protectorate of France. It was therefore held that the marking was within the customs regulations published in T. D. 46978 and held reasonable in Mitsui v. United States (T. D. 49357). The protest was therefore sustained.
