Big Rebate Claim Over Hay Duty Seeks Recovery
Lowell heirs of a former baled hay importer pursue rebates of customs duties likely totaling between a half million and a million dollars. Patrick W. Cullinan, a New York attorney, aims to have all claims presented together, with Gardner W. Pearson acting as Lowell claimant’s counsel. The dispute dates back 30 to 40 years and centers on whether 10 percent tariff on unmanufactured hay should have applied. 1882 circuit court ruling favored rebating baled hay as non manufactured. Other claimants nationwide seek refunds, but protest of duties or legislative settlement may decide the path to court or Congress.
