Fritz v. United States

35 Cust. Ct. 329

Opinion

Opinion by

Johnson, J.

It was stipulated that the issue herein is similar in all material respects to that involved in United States v. Browne Vintners Co., Inc. (34 C. C. P. A. 112, C. A. D. 351) and that the merchandise contained in case No. 4220, reported by the inspector as manifested, not found, was not in fact received by the importer. In accordance with stipulation of counsel and following the decision cited it was held that duty is not assessable upon such portion of the merchandise as was reported by the inspector as manifested, not found. The protest was sustained to this extent.
