    No. 56871.
    J. H. Kimball, Inc. v. United States,
    protests 141753-K, etc. (New York).
   Opinion by

Ford, J.

It was stipulated that certain items of the involved

merchandise consist of woven silk fabrics, valued at more than $5.50 per pound, the same in all material respects as those passed upon in Walter Strassburger & Co., Inc., et al. v. United States (26 Cust. Ct. 210, C. D. 1326). Accepting the stipulation as a statement of fact and following the cited authority, it was held that the merchandise entered for consumption or withdrawn from warehouse prior to January 1, 1948, is dutiable at 45 percent under paragraph 1205, as modified by T. D. 48316, and that which was entered for consumption or withdrawn from warehouse subsequent to said date is dutiable at 25 percent under said paragraph, as modified by T. D. 51802.
