United States Customs Court · Decided October 26, 1939 · Cline
3 Cust. Ct. 462
Protest 954496-G of Dodge & Olcott Co.

Opinion of the Court

Opinion by

Cline, J.

It appeared that the drums were marked “Russia” and that the birch tar was not susceptible of being marked. In T. D. 47004 and T. D. 47114 short forms of markings were designated by the Secretary of the Treasury. As there appears to be no country at present bearing the name “Russia” it was held that the merchandise was not legally marked and the protest was overruled.
