| -2- hand, paragraph 330 covers nuts, bolts and lock washers of wrought iron or steel, the duty being 6/10 of 1¢ per pound. When these articles are imported, your broker when he makes entry at the Custom House is required to classify them according to the tariff. I suggest, therefore, that you get up for me, at your leisure, a list of the particular parts you contemplate importing so that I can go through the tariff act and tentatively classify them. There is no particular hurry about this because it will not be necessary to do this until your first importation comes in, but it would be well to have everything in shape. Very truly yours, (Sgd.) E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} A.{Mr Adams} Levett. | ||
