New York Ruling Says Pearls Not Necklace Duty Applies
United States Circuit Court of Appeals reverses lower court on Leeds pearls case. It upholds 10 percent duty on importation valued at 320,000, though the pearls were claimed as not a necklace. The decision notes that value must be stated on the invoice and that duty is tied to the declared value. The pearls were seized after import, and Willam B Leeds paid the 10 percent as a necklace, despite later dispute.
