Kwong Yuen Shing v. United States
177 F. 605
S.D.N.Y.
1909
Check Treatment
PLATT, District Judge.

The importations in question consist of certain duck meat imported from China. I think “meats of all kinds, prepared or preserved” (paragraph 275, act of 1897), better describes the importations than does “poultry * * * dressed” (paragraph 278). This latter term certainly cannot be said to aptly describe, either in a common or tariff sense, articles which have been treated before importation as these have admittedly been.

The decision of the Board is therefore affirmed.
