As to the actions enumerated in the attached Schedule identified with the .prefix (A) and as to entry 165630 of the action identified in said Schedule with the prefix (C), the motion and the said actions are dismissed for prematurity by reason of the fact that in contravention of 19 U.S.C.A., section 1503(a) (section 503(a), Tariff Act of 1930, as amended by the Customs Simplification Act of 1953) liquidation of the subject entries was not made upon a final appraised vaJ/ae, and as such, is void, liquidation in each instance having taken place within 60 days of the date of the appraiser’s report.

It is the duty of the regional commissioner or district director of customs to liquidate the involved entries in the manner provided for by law so that plaintiffs may file a valid protest against said entries if they be so advised.
