Petition 5765-R of Forrest

Opinion by

The evidence established that the importer had instructed the Canadian shippers to list the correct value of the merchandise and that the broker was instructed to enter at the values shown on the invoices which in his experience he had found to be accurate. In making entry he made no inquiry of the appraiser as to the value of the merchandise although he knew the prices were fluctuating daily. Under the circumstances the petition was denied.
