Protests 56969-K of Calarco Importing Co. , 16 Cust. Ct. 203 ( 1946 )

Opinion by

Keefe, J.

It was stipulated that certain items of the merchandise consist of cheese similar in all material respects either to the Romano, Pecorino Romano Sardo, Provolone, or Sbrinz cheese which was the subject of Scaramelli v. United States (9 Cust. Ct. 270, C. D. 706). In accordance therewith it was held that an allowance of 2% percent should have been made in the weight of the cheese by the collector in computing the duty thereon to compensate for the weight of the inedible substance on the outside of the cheese. The protests were sustained to this extent.
