Imperial Gem Syndicate v. United States
Imperial Gem Syndicate v. United States
30 Cust. Ct. 428; 1953 Cust. Ct. LEXIS 292
Opinion of the Court
At the trial it was stipulated that the merchandise in question consists of beads made of tecali, which is the same material as used in-the stones involved in L. Heller & Son, Inc. v. United States (25 Cust. Ct. 83, C. D. 1268). Since it was agreed that the beads are made of tecali, it was held that the-present merchandise consists of beads of semiprecious stones, for which there is no-specific provision. . Accordingly, the beads described on the invoices, as indicated, above, were held dutiable at 35 percent under paragraph 1503, as claimed.
