Drawback on Duties for Lead Refined and Exported
The attorney general rules that a drawback of duties on imported lead refined in a bonded establishment and later withdrawn for domestic use should be allowed upon exportation of the refined ore products. The case involves Selby Smelting and Lead Co of San Francisco using Maximg ores and domestic refractories. The decision revises the 1904 view that no drawback could be allowed due to uncertainty in measuring domestic lead by analysis.
