2 Cust. Ct. 558

Opinion

Opinion by

Cline, J.

It appeared that the nuts were contained in old gasoline tins, packed two tins to a wooden case. The wooden cases were marked “Product of Brazil” but there was no marking on the tins to indicate the country of origin of the nuts. On the authority of Lerillard v. United States (24 C. C. P. A. 90, T. D. 48412) and Abstracts 34966 and 39517 it was held that the tin cans are the immediate containers of the nuts. As they were not marked the protest was overruled.
