Atiyeh Bros. v. United States,

Opinion:
Opinion by
Oliveb, C. J.
The undisputed facts showed that the rugs in question are so-called "market Kerman," whose measurement should have been computed on the basis of 7.24 square feet to the Persian unit called "a zar," as claimed by plaintiff, rather than on the basis of 6.75 square feet to "a zar," the measurement applicable to the so-called "contract Kerman" rugs, as adopted by the customs officials. The claim of the plaintiff was sustained accordingly.
