To United States Appraisers and Acting Appraisers of Merchandise: The United States Court of Customs Appeals on March 3, 1924, in the case of Sternfeld v. United States, in a decision published in T. D. 40065, construing paragraph C, section 402 of the tariff act of 1922, held that "the 'export value' in paragraph C, section 402, tariff act of 1922, does not include an export tax levied by the Chinese Government at the time the merchandise left China. Unless the export tax is a part of the market value in the foreign country, it can not be construed as a part of export value." The Board of U. S. General Appraisers (now the U. S. Customs Court) on January 23, 1925, in the case of the United States v. George Kazan, in a decision published in T. D. 40648, G. A. 8928, held that "ad valorem duties are based upon market values, if there are such. Where the export tax forms no part of the market value it can not be added to make either foreign value or export value." The United States Court of Customs Appeals on April 17, 1926, in the case of the United States v. Tadross & Co. et al., in a decision. published in T. D. 41528, held that "An export tax can not be added to market value to make export value, but in order to be a part of export value it must be included in market value' (Sternfeld v. U. S., 12 Ct. Cust. Appls. 172). Where rugs from China and from Persia were taxed at exportation, and were not assessed with such tax unless exported, the tax was not properly part of the appraised value. (Sec. 402, tariff act 1922.)” 38160-27-VOL 51—2 In view of the foregoing decisions the appraiser of merchandise at New York is of the opinion, in which the department concurs, that export taxes which are paid only at the time of exportation, or export taxes which are included in c. i. f. or f. o. b. prices, and form no part of the purchase price, should not any longer be treated as part of export value. In order that there shall be uniformity of practice in the appraisement of imported merchandise at all ports, appraising officers will hereafter follow the rules announced in the decisions above quoted.

After her decease her daughter made a present of it to a French maid who had returned to France. The merchandise was consigned to this French maid at Paris who attempted to obtain possession of it without the payment of duty upon the theory that it was of French manufacture but was refused free entry. Thereupon she refused to accept the merchandise and it remained in French customs custody three months, until the plaintiff's customhouse broker in Paris arranged for its reshipment to the United States. It is claimed to be a nonimportation and as such not dutiable. Held, that merchandise entering a foreign port under circumstances such as obtained in the case at bar, must, if returned to the United States be regarded as an importation. United States Customs Court (Decided January 3, 1927) Masters & Levett (Benjamin A. Levett of counsel) for the plaintiffs. Charles D. Lawrence, Assistant Attorney General (Marcus Higginbotham, special attorney), for the United States. Before WAITE, ADAMSON, and YOUNG, Justices. YOUNG, Justice: The merchandise involved herein consists of two articles, one a toilet set composed in chief value of gold-lacquered metal upon which duty was assessed at 60 per cent ad valorem under paragraph 399 of the tariff act of 1922, and the other a decorated china box upon which duty was assessed at 70 per cent under paragraph 212. |
