Iron kentledge, purchased in the United States and used exclusively as bailast, if landed in the United States, will, if of foreign production or manufacture, be liable to duty; and if of American production or manufacture, be entitled to free entry under 145. (Tr. Reg., p. 554.)

+ Department's letter of March 19, 1869, held that where the officers of the customs are satisfied that pieces of new iron, whether more or less than six inches in length, are fit to be made into spikes or bolts, that is, could appropriately and with reasonable expectation of profit on the part of the manufacturer be put to such use, ... then they should not classify them as scrap iron. It was not intended, however, to limit the application of this principle to pieces of new iron fit only to be made into spikes or bolts, but it must be held to embrace all pieces of new iron, when in the condition in which imported they are fit to be manufactured directly into wire, or any other article, and such new iron should not be classified as scrap

iron.

"It sometimes happens that importations of so-called scrap iron are mixed with pieces of bar iron, six inches or more in length, and it is practically impossible to separate them, so as to determine what amount should pay duty as scrap and what as bar iron. Where an importation of this character contains any considerable quantity of clippings or pieces of new bar iron, which cannot, under Department's decisions of February 25, and March 19, 1869, be properly classified as scrap iron, then the whole box or lot, or, if it be necessary, the whole importation, in which such pieces are found, should be classified as bar iron." (Feb. 1, 1870, N. Y. Syn. Ser., 568.)

"On application to import, free of duty, old railroad iron from Canada, to be rerolled in the United States, and returned to Canada, it was decided by the Department that such free importation could not be legally allowed; but that the iron under such circumstances would be chargeable with duty as 'old iron in scrap. Nor could the iron in question be entered, rerolled, and exported in bond to be cancelled on proof of delivery in Canada." (Tr. Reg., p. 577.)

This embraces so-styled "sheet-iron,' fit for some of the uses to which plate-iron is applied, to wit: among others, of tank and shutter plates. (Feb. 11, 1867, Boston.)

Dunnage mats, used as dunnage to protect sheet-iron from damage during the voyage of importation, if charged in invoice or of merchantable value, are subject to duty. (March 31, 1863, Boston.)

Iron bands on sheet-iron, being of trifling value, and absolutely necessary to insure safe transportation of the sheets, are not deemed to be an item of expense to the importer, and not liable to duty, and should be considered tare. (Jan. 4, 1865, N. Y.)

Sheet-iron of slightly polished appearance, from being rolled in single sheets, to toughen it for the manu. facture of spoons, etc., to be covered with tin, should be classified as "sheet-iron, common or black," and pay duty according to its gauge. (March 23, 1872. N. Y., Syn. Ser., 1072.)
