a Custom-house returns of honey are given in gallons, assumed here to weigh 12 pounds. 
b Imports of honey into the United States are subject to a specific duty. 
Values. The values of all imported articles, whether subject to ad valorem or specific duties or free 
of duty, are regulated by the act of Congress of June 10, 1890. 
Tin* actual market value or wholesale price of such merchandise as bought and sold in usual wholesale 
quantities at the time of exportation to the United States in the principal markets of the country from 
whence Imported, and in the condition in which such merchandise is there bought for exportation to the 
United States or consigned to the United States for sale, including the value of all cartons, cases, crates, 
boxes, sacks, and coverings of any kind, and all other costs, charges, and expenses incident to placing the 
merchandise in condition ready for shipment to the United States. 
Valuation iect ptions. The value of Imported articles subject to ad valorem duties is believed to be 
determined with more accuracy, according to the legal method of valuation, than other imports, with 
specific 'luiies or free, and exported articles; the valuation of dutiable imports and of exports dutiable in 
foreign countries tend to understatement, and the valuations of imports that are free of duty are often 
inflated for the purpose of trade deception.
