UNITED STATES CUSTOMS DECISIONS. 



THE United States general appraisers at New York have 

 rendered a decision in the matter of the protest of A. H. 

 Funke, against the decision of the collector of customs at New 

 York, as to the vpeight and amount of duties chargeable on 

 " white countered Gutta-percha fuse," imported March 4, 1902. 

 The decision holds that fuses composed in chief value of Gut- 

 ta-percha, used for blasting purposes by being connected with, 

 and adapted to explode, a detonator, which in turn fires a ful- 

 minate, are not dutiable under paragraph 421, act of July 24, 

 1897, as fulminates, fulminating powder, or like articles, but 

 are dutiable at the rate of 35 per cent, ad valorem under para- 

 graph 450 of said manufactures in chief value of Gutta-percha. 

 The protest is accordingly overruled and the decision of the 

 collector affirmed. 



The appraisers have overruled the protest of Samstag & 

 Hilder Brothers regarding the classification of merchandise 

 invoiced as elastic belting. A portion of the importation was 

 returned by the appraiser as " silk, cotton, and India-rubber 

 wearing apparel," and the remainder as " silk, cotton, and In- 

 dia rubber webbing." The importers claimed the goods to be 

 in chief value of vegetable fiber. The board found at the hear- 

 ing that silk was the component material of chief value. These 

 belts were finished and ornamented with small steel stars, 

 whih penetrate the goods and are riveted on the reverse side.
