Before the Third Division,
    December 2, 1938
    No. 39995.
    Protest 912949-G of John S. Connor (Baltimore).
   Opinion by

Cline, J.

It appeared that the merchandise is copra the product of the Dutch East Indies. It was packed in bags marked “Produce of N. E. I.” The courts having consistently held that the initials of the country of origin alone are not sufficient as a marking legend, the protest was overruled. American Burtonizing Co. v. United States (13 Ct. Cust. Appls. 652, T. D. 41489) and Abstract 39461 followed. Abstracts 38243 and 32638 distinguished.
