1846.

It is to be observed, in relation to articles not enumer- Sec. 8 Act July 30, ated in the foregoing list, that, by the third section of the tariff act of the 30th July, 1846, it is provided that there shall be levied, collected, and paid, on all goods, wares, and merchandise imported from foreign countries, and not especially provided for in that act, a duty of twenty per centum ad valorem; and it will be also observed that in levying duties on such unenumerated articles it may be at times necessary to have reference to the twentieth section of the tariff act of August 30, 1842, still in force, which is in the following words:

1842.

"There shall be levied, collected, and paid on each and Sec. 20 Act Aug. 30, every non-enumerated article which bears a similitude either in material, quality, texture, or the use to which it may be applied, to any enumerated article chargeable with duty, the same rate of duty which is levied and charged on the enumerated article which it most resembles, in any of the particulars before mentioned; and if any non-enumerated article equally resembles two or more enumerated articles, on which different rates of duty are chargeable, there shall be levied, collected, and paid on such nonenumerated article, the same rate of duty as is chargeable on the article which it resembles paying the highest duty; and on all articles manufactured from two or more materials, the duty shall be assessed at the highest rates at which any of its component parts may be chargeable."
