Sorting theory clarified in wool tariff ruling
New York Aug 4 The Board of General Appraisers issues a major ruling on Paragraph 383 of the tariff act clarifying that the getting clause applies to all wools including third class. It defines sorting as a process that increases value by removing inferior fleece parts and warns against evading duties by such manipulation. The decision reverses collectors in Higgins Co cases and limits double entry for Thacher Co by contrasting sorted and unsorted fleece values.
