For the definition of parts of machinery, the following rules will be observed: First. A separate piece of a machine is understood to be any object which is not expressly specified by name under some heading of the tariff, and which by its shape, and by the manner in which it is presented for clearance in the custom-house, though not completely finished, may be considered as exclusively destined for a machine and can have no other application. If it be imported completely finished, it must pay under one of the headings of the tariff referring to machinery. Second. The importer of detached parts of machinery may, should he deem it convenient, request, when making the clearance, that the duty be levied on the component material instead of paying the duty stipulated for machines. Third. Tubes, bars, axles, screws, bolts, sheets, plates, boiler bottoms, wire, and other articles expressly taxed in the tariff, must pay duty accordingly though they be destined for machinery. Fourth. Tools, instruments, and utensils employed in the arts and industries can not be considered parts of machinery as far as the customs tariff is concerned, and must pay duty according to the materials of which they are composed. eTo ascertain whether products presented for clearance are flour or groats, a sample thereof shall be placed in sieve No. 80 (silk tissue with 80 openings to a French square inch). If the product passes through this sieve, it shall be considered as flour; if not, as groats. 253. Common brandy of vinic alcohol. B.
