General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present. The body of Supreme Court decisions are, effectively, the final interpretation of the Constitution. Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.

The addition of 20 percent of sulphuric acid to a shipment of nitric acid, to render the latter non-injurious to the steel tanks in which it is transported, resulting in a mechanical mixture not intended or adapted as such to commercial use, does not take the merchandise out of par. 387 of the free list, Tariff Act of 1913, and render it dutiable under par. 5, which imposes 15 percent ad valorem on "all chemical and medicinal compounds, preparations, mixtures," etc. P. 404.

Certiorari to review a judgment of the Court of Customs Appeals which, reversing a judgment order of the Board of General Appraisers (G.A. 8235, 36 T.D. 170 (Brown, G.A., dissenting)), sustained the respondent’s claim of free entry for its merchandise.
