(1450.) *This, under the earlier decisions, comprehended only such stones as required to be set before being worn. Stone rings were not therefore included in this description, being an article ready t› be worn without setting, and consequently held to become liable, if of carnelian or other stone not otherwise provided for, to duty as an unenumerated article. (Tr. Reg., p. 586.) But under later rulings of the Department, carnelian rings were classified as jewelry, and held to be liable to duty at the rate of twenty-five per centum. (May 15, 1866. D. & O.) + Cameos and mosaics in settings or frames of material other than metal are to be regarded as unenumerated articles subject to 20 per centum. (Tr. Reg., pp. 559 and 575.) 494.

Articles of spring steel requiring further manufacture to make them "watch springs" are not "parts of watches;" but must be classified as "manufactures of steel not otherwise provided for" (December 4, 1868, New York). But see the distinction made between "finished” and “unfinished parts." (October 26, 1857, New York.) "Watch movements" were classified as "watches" under the act of 1857-not as "watch materials" or "unfinished parts of watches." (October 26, 1857, New York.) But" watch hands" and "chain hooks" were classified as "watch materials and unfinished parts of watches" under the same act. (October 26, 1867, Boston.) † Dung salt, capable of other uses than as manure, cannot be classified under this clause; nor if it contain over thirty per cent, of free potash.

(1790.) 636.* Drugs, barks, beans, berries, balsams, buds, bulbs, and bulbous roots The editor has found great difficulty in arriving at a conclusion satisfactory to himself, as to the proper construction of paragraphs 94 and 636 of this act. The fact ced in the sch and excrescences, such as nut-galls, fruits, flowers, dried fibers; grains, gums and gum-resin; herbs, leaves, lichens, mosses, nuts, roots, and stems; spices, vegetables, seeds aromatic, and seeds of morbid growth; weeds, woods used expressly for dyeing, and dried insects-any of the foregoing, of which are not edible and are in a crude state, and not advanced in value or condition by refining or grinding, or by other process of manufacture, and not specially enumerated or provided for in this act. (1262, 1594.) 637. Vaccine virus. (1566.) 638.

Animals specially imported for breeding purposes,† shall be admitted free upon proot thereof satisfactory to the Secretary of the Treasury, and under such regulations as he may prescribe; (1473.) b. And teams of animals, including their harness and tackle and the vehicles or wagons actually owned by persons emigrating from foreign countries to the United States with their families, and in actual use for the purpose of such emigration, shall also be admitted free of duty, under such regulations as the Secretary of the Treasury may prescribe.

Barrels of American manufacture,|| exported filled with domestic petroleum, and returned empty, under such regulations as the Secretary of the Treasury may prescribe, and without requiring the filing of a declaration at time of export of intent to return the same empty. (1489.) "Chemica. Products," and the latter in the corresponding division of the "Free List," embracing only products similar to those in the forme, and that both are expressly restricted to articles "not edible;" as well as, that the provisions in other parts of the act for articles "not menticing'," bearing the same designation or coming within the same description as many of those in these paragraphs, seem to him to indicate that Congress must have intended to limit the provisions of these two paragraphs to medicinal articles, possibly including such as a e used for dyeing, as may be inferred from the inclusion of “ woods used expressly for dyeing, and of “dried insects." The other provisions above referred to are, especially, 405 for "bulbs and bulbous roots, not medicinal;" 465 for “garden seed,;" 760 for plants, trees, and shrubs of all kinds, n. o. p. f., and "seeds of all kinds except medicinal seeds," etc. * Horses exported to be tramed, may be returned free under this provision. (S. S., 2190.) +"Live stock, imported for breeding purposes, whether for the importer's own use or for sale, are entitled to free entry under this clause." (Feb. 5, 1871, N. O.) Property imported for the use of the government is not liable to duty. (U. S. v. Lutz, 2 Bl. C C. 383.) Unmanufactured bamboo which may be manufactured into umbrella sticks or canes or used for whip handles, remains bamboo as designated in this section, until the process to convert it into these articles has commenced. (September 12, 1865, N. Y.) But bamboo-reeds trimmed at joints, and requiring but little labor to fit them for fishing-rods, were subjected to thirty per cent. duty under the act of 1846. (July 17, 1857, N. Y.) Barrels of American manufacture exported filled, to be entitled to free entry on return, must be returned as barrels, and not as parts of barrels, and must have the internal revenue mark erased at the expense of the importer, before delivery. If the hoops, heads, and staves of such barrels are detached and returned as shooks,' they are dutiable." (March 26, 27, 30, 1868, to D. S. M. & Coll., N. Y.) |
