he shall direct that such articles as he shall deem the interests of the United
States shall require, imported by any person violating the provisions of
this Act, shall be excluded from entry into the United States, and upon
information of such action by the President, the Secretary of the
Treasury shall, through the proper officers, assess such additional
duties or refuse such entry, and that the decision of the President shall
be conclusive.
(f) That whenever the President has reason to believe that any article
is offered or sought to be offered for entry into the United States in violation
of this section but has not information sufficient to satisfy him thereof,
the Secretary of the Treasury shall, upon his request in writing, forbid
entry thereof until such investigation as the President may deem necessary
shall be completed: Provided, that the Secretary of the Treasury may
permit entry under bond upon such conditions and penalties as he may
deem adequate.
(g) That any additional duty or any refusal of entry under this section
shall continue in effect until the President shall find and instruct the
Secretary of the Treasury that the conditions which led to the assessment
of such additional duty or refusal of entry no longer exist.
Sec.317. (A) That the President when he finds that the public interest
will be served thereby shall by proclamation specify and declare new or
additional duties as hereinafter provided upon articles wholly or in part
the growth or product of any foreign country whenever he shall find as
a fact that such country—
Imposes, directly or indirectly, upon the disposition in or transportation
in transit through or re-exportation from such country of any article wholly
or in part the growth or product of the United States any unreasonable
charge, exaction, regulation or limitation which is not equally enforced
upon the like articles of every foreign country;
Discriminates in fact against the commerce of the United States, directly
or Indirectly, by law or administrative regulation or practice, by or in'respect to any customs, tonnage or port duty, fee, charge, exaction, classification, regulation, condition, restriction or prohibition, in such manner
as to place the commerce of the United States at a disadvantage compared
with the commerce of any foreign country.
(B) If at any time the President shall find it to be a fact that any foreign
country has not only discriminated against the commerce of the United
States, as aforesaid, but has, after the issuance of a proclamation as authorized in subdivision (A) of this section, maintained or increased its said discriminations against the commerce of the United States, the President is
hereby authorized, if he deems it consistent with the interests of the United
States, to issue a further proclamation directing that such articles of said
country as he shall deem the public interests may require shall be excluded
from importation into the United States.
(C) That any proclamation issued by the President under the authority
of this section shall, if he deems It consistent with the interests of the United
States, extend to the whole of any foreign country or may be confined to
any subdivision or subdivisions thereof: and the President shall, whenever
he deems the public interests require,suspend,revoke,supplement or amend
any such proclamation.
(D) Whenever the President shall find as a fact that any foreign country
places any burdens upon the commerce of the United States by any of the
unequal impositions or discriminations aforesaid, he shall, when he finds
that the public interest will be served thereby, by proclamation specify
and declare such new or additional rate or rates of duty as he shall determine will offset such burdens, not to exceed 50 per centum ad valorem or
its equivalent, and on and after 30 days after the date of such proclamation
there shall be levied, collected and paid upon the articles enumerated in
such proclamation when imported into the United States from such foreign
country such new or additional rate or rates of duty; or, in case of articles
declared subject to exclusion from importation into the United States under
the provisions of subdivision (B) of this section, such articles shall be excluded from importation.
(E) Whenever the President shall find as a fact that any foreign country
imposes any unequal imposition or discrimination as aforesaid upon the
commerce of the United States, or that any benefits accrue or are likely to

shall be final and conclusive upon all persons, unless the importer, consignee
or agent of the person paying such charge or exaction, or filing such claim
for drawback, or seeking such entry or delivery, shall, within 60 days after,
but not before such liquidation or decision, as well in cases of merchandise,
entered in bond as for consumption, file a protest in writing with the collector setting forth distinctly and specifically, and in respect to each entry,
payment, claim, or decision, the reasons for the objection thereto, and if the
merchandise is entered for consumption, shall pay the full amount of duties,
charges and exactions ascertained to be due thereon. Under such rules as the
Board of General Appraisers may prescribe, and in its discretion, a protest
may be amended at any time prior to the first docket call thereof.
Sec. 515. Same.—Upon the filing of such protest and payment of duties
and other charges, the collector shall within 60 days thereafter review his decision, and may modify the same in whole or in part and thereafter refund any
duties, charge, or .exaction found to have been collected in excess, or pay
any drawback found due, of which notice shall be given as in the case of the
original liquidation, and against which protest may be filed within the same
time and in the same manner and under the same conditions as against the
original liquidatoin or decision. If the collector shall, upon such review, affirm his original decision, or, upon the filing of a protest against his modification of any decision, the collector shall forthwith transmit the entry and
the accompanying papers and all the exhibits connected therewith, to the
Board of General Appraisers for due assignment and determination, as provided by law. Such determination shall be final and conclusive upon all persons, and the papers transmitted shall be returned, with the decision and
judgment order thereon, to the collector, who shall take action accordingly,
except in cases in which an appeal shall be filed in the United States Court
of Customs Appeals within the time and in the manner provided by law.
Sec. 516. Appeal or Protest by American Producers.—(a) Whenever an
American manufacturer, producer or wholesaler believes that the appraised
value of any imported merchandise of a class or kind manufactured, produced
or sold at wholesale by hint is too low, he may file with the Secretary of the
Treasury a complaint setting forth the value at which he believes the merchandise should be appraised and the facts upon which he bases his belief.
The Secretary shall thereupon transmit a copy of such complaint to the appraiser at each port of entry where the merchandise is usually imported. Until otherwise directed by the Secretary, the appraiser shall report each subsequent importation of the merchandise, giving the entry number, the name
of the importer, the appraisal value, and his reasons for the appraisement.
If the Secretary does not agree with the action of the appraiser, he shall instruct the collector to file an appeal for a reappraisement as provided In Section 501 of this Act, and such manufacturer, producer or wholesaler shall
have the right to appear and to be heard as a party in interest under such
rules as the Board of General Appraisers may prescribe. The Secretary shall
notify such manufacturer, producer or wholesaler of the action taken by such
appraiser, giving the port of entry, the entry number and the appraised value
of such merchandise and the action he has taken thereon. If the appraiser advances the entered value of merchandise upon the information furnished by
the American manufacturer, producer or wholesaler, and an appeal is taken by
the consignee, such as manufacturer, producer, or wholesaler shall have the
right to appear and to be heard as a party in interest, under such rules as the
Board of General Appraisers may prescribe. If the American manufacturer,
producer, or wholesaler is not satisfied with the action of the Secretary, or
the action of the appraiser thereon, he may file, within 10 days after the date
of the mailing of the Secretary's notice, an appeal for a reappraisement in the
same manner and with the same effect as an appeal by a consignee under the
provisions of Section 501 of this Act.
(b) The Secretary of the Treasury shall, upon written request by an American manufacturer, producer or wholesaler, furnish the classification of and

his belief. If the
rate or rates of duty he believes proper, and the reasons for
Secretary believes that the classification of or rate of duty assessed upon the
the proper
merchandise is not correct, he shall notify the collectors as to
classification and rate of duty and shall so inform such manufacturer, proall
upon
merchanducer or wholesaler, and such rate of duty shall be assessed
dise imported or withdrawn from warehouse after 30 days after the date of
such notice to the collectors. If the Secretary believes that the classification
and rate of duty are correct, he shall so inform such manufacturer, producer
or wholesaler. If dissatisfied with the action of the Secretary, such manufacturer, producer or wholesaler may file with him a notice that he desires to
protest the classification or the rate of duty imposed upon the merchandise,
and upon receipt of such notice the Secretary shall furnish him with such information as to the entry, the consignee, and the port of entry as will enable
him to protest the classification of or the rate of duty imposed upon the merchandise when liquidated at any port of entry. Upon written request therefor
by such manufacturer, producer or wholesaler, the collector of such port of
entry shall notify him immediately of the date of liquidation. Such manu-




facturer, producer or wholesaler may file, wtihin 60 days after the date of
liquidation, with the collector of such port a protest in writing, setting forth
a description of the merchandise and the classification and the rate of duty he
believes proper, with the same effect as a protest of a consignee filed under
the provisions of Sections 514 and 515 of this Act.
(c) A copy of every appeal and every protest filed by an American manufacturer, producer or wholesaler under the provisions of this section shall be
mailed by the collector to the consignee or his agent within five days after
the filing thereof, and such consignee or his agent shall have the right to appear and to be heard as a party in interest before the Board of General Appraisers. The collector shall transmit the entry and all papers and exhibits
accompanying or connected therewith to the Board of General Appraisers for
due assignment and determination of the proper value or of the proper classification and rate of duty. The decision of the Board of General Appraisers
upon any such appeal or protest shall be final and conclusive upon all parties
unless an appeal is taken by either party to the Court of Customs Appeals, as
provided in Sections 501 and 515 of this Act.
(d) In proceedings instituted under the provisions of this section an American manufacturer, producer or wholesaler shall not have the right to inspect
any documents or papers of the consignee or importer disclosing any information which the general appraiser or the Board of General Appraisers shall
deem unnecessary or improper to be disclosed to him.
Sec. 517. Frivolous Protest or Appeal.—Upon motion of the counsel for
the Government, it shall be the duty of the Board of General Appraisers to
decide whether any appeal for reappraisement or protest filed under the provisions of Section 501, 514, 515 or 516 of this Act is frivolous, and if said
board shall so decide, a penalty of not less than $5 nor more than $250 shall
be assessed against the person filing such appeal for reappraisement or protest: Provided, That all appeals for reappraisement or protests filed by the
same person and raising the same issue shall, if held frivolous by said board,
be consolidated and deemed one proceeding for the purpose of imposing the

power to order an analysis of imported merchandise and reports thereon by
laboratories or bureaus of the United States. The President of the Board shall
assign three of the general appraisers to each of the said boards and shall designate which member shall be chairman thereof. The President of the Board
shall be competent to sit as a member of any board or to assign one or two
other members to any of such boards in the absence or disability of any one
or two members of such board. A majority of any board shall have full power

said case when, in the opinion of said board or said general appraiser, the ends
of justice so require.

affected thereby was imported and to forward an additional copy to the Secretary of the Treasury, who shall cause such decisions as he or the Board of
General Appraisers shall deem sufficiently important to be published in full,
or, if they shall not deem a full publication thereof necessary, then the Board

decisions and abstracts thereof shall be published from time to time and at
least once each week for the information of customs officers and the public.
