Txxasuny leranteent, Sept. 26, 1850. Sin:—lo shance with the resolutioa of the Senate, “that the Seeretary of the Treasury b+ re- quested to report what have been the adopted to prevent frauds upon the revenue, the passege of the act of I aod what has the resuli,” 1 have the honor to state, that measures which have been adopted by this ment to prevent frauds upon the revenue, the present tariff act, may be found ia the lar instructions that were issued to collectors and other officers of the customs before the act went into ope- ration, viz: November 11, 26 and 28, 1846, and those issued since the Ist December, 1546. (pon refer- | ence to these circulars, it will be pereeived that | unusual apprehension was felt, that wader the change from specitic duties to duties levied upon the foreign value of imported merchandise, there would be great temptation for the commission of frauds by undervaluation in the invoicesand entries, and in the circular of the 28th November, 1846, the officers of the customs were advised that it was | ‘the determination of the Department to exercise | its whole power, under the la ard the re- venue of the government rand dervaiuation in invoices and entries, and to arin: tain the business of importing in the hands of the honest merchant and fair trader.” The officers were instructed to take the duties in the goods im- parted when there was reason to believe there was fraud or undervaluation, to exact penetians and to make seizures in cases authorised by law; and in the circulars of the 11th and 26:h November, 1846, their special attention was called to the provisions contained in the 2d section of the civil and diplo- matic appropriation act of the 10th August, 1516, requiring that ‘in sipreisin all goods at any port of the United States, heretofore subjected to speci- fic duties, but upon which ad duties are imposed by the act of 30th July, 1846, reference ehull be had to invoices and vaiues of similargoods imported in the last fiseal year, under such general and uniform regulations for the prevention of fraud or undervaluation, as shall be prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury.” 2 Notwithstanding the instructions contained ia these circulars, iasued in advance of the operation of the act which commenced Ist December, 1546, it became necessary to issue another ‘to collec- tors, & pgeaizene, and other officers of the customs,”” on the 6th July, 1847, with rules and regulations in A ST gar in which Mr. Secretary Walker stated that “this course was rendered necessary by recentattempts xpos the part of mer- chant appraisers, in a few of the ports of the Uni- ted States, to establish for themselves certain regulations in regard to appraisements wholly in- consistent with law and inetructions.” It is stated that “tin some of the ports these appraisers es timate the value of the goods as at the date of the purchase, however remote or distant, and in other ports they take the value at the date of ship- ment to the United States. The last is the true construction of the law, long since declared by this department, and adopted generally throughout the Union. The proviso of the 16th section of the act of the 30th August, 1842, is clear and emphatic upon this subject, and prescribes the date, in reference to whieh the value is to be esti- mated, as ‘the period of exportation to the United States,’ and words preceding in that section, under the settled rule of interpreting statute: must be made to conform io the succeeding age of the proviso. This would be the rule, even if there was an absolute conflict between the E ords of the proviso, and of any precedi of the section-for the | of he provite being the last ex; d wil of the legislature, must prevail. ‘ere it otherwise, the law would pre- scribe two kinds of market values; the one in the ped of the 16th section, being the date of the purchase, and the other, in the provieo, being the date of shipment. The ’most eaermous frauds, also, would be the consequence of such construc- tion. Simulated, hetitious, and eate-dated pur- chases to suit the period of lowest price, would prevail extensively, to the great injury of the fair rand of the revenue. In truth, under such syetem the whole importing business would soon be thrown into the hands of the dishonest and fraudulent, who would be willing to prodnce ante- dated or fictitious foreign sales, and that most useful and meritorious citizen, the honest and fair trader, would be thrown entirely out of the mar- ket. it is knewn at present—that the commence- ment of this proposed system—that even where the purchases are not deemed by the parties fraud- ulent, the designing to import into the United States goes to some prior purchaser, who has pur- chased not for importation into the United States atsome prior date when the goods were much low- er in value, and imports the goode in the nume of the first purchaser, conse to give a certain profit or price on the ge 9 re, and thus de- prives the revenue of the difference in value, and obtains a most unjust advantage over the fair trader, who will resort to no such It ie the dat, of this department to declare that such a practice & fraud upon the revenue, and subjects the goods to seizure and confiscation, and the parties commit- ting the fraud to all the penalties prescribed by law; the utmost vigilance is epjoined upon collec- tors, and all other of the customs, an taking all proper measures to detect and pun- = all who are engaged in euch fraudulent prac- nces. Notwithstanding this emphatie and just condem- nation of the fraudulent practices here described, and the efforts made to the fair trader, the reeult has shown that they had not beca effectual. The temptation proved too great, and fraudule: invoices continued to multiply. On the 7th of Ay; I Mr. Secretary Walk- er instructed t cers of the customs, that ‘forced sales of goods in the foreign markets at reduced prices, under extraordinary amd peculiar cirsum- stances, cannot be taken as the true market velue of such gdode.”” And on the 26th December, 1848, he found it ne- ceseary to it much that he had previously said; and extend his instructions, in consequence of ‘‘dif- ferences of practice existing in the several ports re- lating to the appraisement of merchandise.” In thie circular Mr. Walker says that “the interests of the country, and of fair and honorable mer- chants, Le that this department should, by eve- Ty means in its power, secure not only the revenue against loss, but should maintain such merchi in their business, against sales of imported articles at diminished rates, arising from fraud or under- valuation.” “Whenever it is found necessary by the regular eppraise merchant ong to guard against fied or underveloation, f y will s oa carry into effect the provisions of the 2d section of the act of the 10th August, 1846, as enforced by circular instrac- tions of the 11th and 26th November, 184. The last fiscal year designated in this section was the last fiseal year preceding the enactment of that law, which was the fiscal year ending the 30th June, 1846, to which reference is required by the law to values and invoices of similar when neces- sary to prevent fraud or poe Dy In presenting to the Senate * what have been the measures adopted to prevent frauds upon the revenue wince the of the tariff act of the 90th July, 1846,” it has been considered due to Mr. Secretary Walker, that the measures which origi- nated with himself should be made prominent ; all the instructions issued by him continue in full foree at the present time, and poe the officers of the revenue of the customs im the ex likely t gress, as well to guard the revenue as to proteet the honest ay Upon reference to the Trea- eury cireular, dated the 6th July, 817, it will ap- pear, that the 23d section of the aet of 30th Angust, 1 which makes it “the duty of the Secretary of the Treasury from time to time to es- tablish such rules and regulations got inconsistent with the laws of the United States to secure a just, aed Gan the Unied tetien ant all geese im- ported into | J States, just and proper entries of such actual market value or wholesale price thereof,’ Mr. Secretary Walker decided that the 16th section of the act of 30th August, 1842, bed that the date, in reference to eh the value of merchandise is to be estimated, was the per of exportation to the United States, and very clearly exhibited the con- ‘pees of any other construction to the revenue ter. ‘This matter was involved in « fruit commenced by Thompeon & Forman, of Lon- ®, extensive manufectorers of railroad iron, P Greely, Jr., Collector of the custome epaimst — hy, tinned the valve at 28 the value at T ton. te mercbant appraisers, it f aad appraised a4 ; ity for |, and likewise 1 was admitted that om 24th of February, 1849, the date of the invoice and bill of £5 16s. per ton wae the true market valae such iron. & Forman, the manufacturers, claimed fT iren was contracted for on the 2ith of Jenvery, 1849, at}which time the market value the was enly £5 per ton. On thie point the charge of Jodge Woodbury, ot the Cort, es reported, was “that the acts of expresely provide that the time to be sel fixung the valor, i# the time when the article is puscliand or procared abroad, unless the article ie one imported from «& country where it was not comply with alese all were governed me of purchase or precurement. & comparison of the opiaieas of Mr. Seere- ‘alker omd those of Judge Woodbury pom it will be seen that, if the jud; Ye eor- manufacturer cam make lee- at which the merchandise was proen: and thereby be ensdied to value his to suit bis interest, whether at the time of it oF time of manufacture—whereas: 3 . haser is confine date of hase. te the law action Fe Moy “ne ae which oe be veers by, fe ogeesnonet no purchasers of iron, an immediate correction “oes ee revisions of law for th tien aw e prevent of freuds apen'the revenue, will be found the se~ cond section of the Civil and Diplomatic | ee of the 10th Ee Hoy eee juiree tl ale a B] an) the Unit ay fore Kadjectes pifteett duties, but on which ad valorem duties are pored by the act of 30th July, 1646, entitled an act reducing the duty on imports and for an pores, reference shall be had to values in- voices of similar goods imported during the last fieeal yeer, under such general aod w regu- lauions for the prevention of freud, er undervalua- tion, a8 shall be prescribed by (he Seeretary of the Treasury.” Appeals have been made to this department te execute the power conferred upon tne a of the Treasury by this act. It is represented, by persons familiar with this subject, that it was the intention of Congress to provide against frauds by the uadervaluation of aricles that had previously paid specific duties, by requiring a reference to the values and invoices of simler goods imported during the previous fiscal year, and the adoption of thoee values in the assessment of duties. That frauds and undervaluations have been perpetrated to a fearful extent in the importation of articles vhat formerly paid specific duties is undeniable, and that effectual means to prevent them be applied, all agree. Hitherio the provisions of this act have been inoperative. If the power which is contended for should be exercised to the exteat and in the manner desired, it would eatirely chi the operation of the act of Sh July, 1846, fixing the value of a great nunb+: of articles, for the assessment duty, much above their present market value in fore countries It has been questioned whether Congress intended to confer powers of this kind upon ths bend of this depart ment; and i emg mend submitted to the Senate, what construction should be placed upon this pro vision, or what means shall be adopted to accom- plish the object in view. The cireular issued by Secretary Walker, under date of the 26th December, 1815, ws his last upem this subject. My immediate predecessor found new modes of evading the reve lawe Seer and on the 12th of October, 1549, instructed the ef ficers of the eustoms upon several segeapat points, viz: that it had been ‘* represented that im- porters were in the practice of omi ting to produce invoices of merchandise, on ‘he alleged ground that none had been received, and asking entry to be allowed on mi The frequency of these occurrences id the idea that the reception ofan invoice usually procesds from mistake er ae- cident, but induces the belief of intention and de- eign, probably with the view of evadiag the addi- tional duty imposed by the 17th secuon of the aet of 30th August, 1842, and the eighth section of the” existing tarnfi act of 30h July, 1546 “ Where goods have been actua!ly purchased, the Jaw requires the invoice to state the true cost, and not the market value abroad. The privileges therefore, given in the eighth section of the act re- ferred to is to en importers of any goods that have been actually purchased, on making entry of the game, to add tot! cost given, in the iavoloe, to bring it up to the true market value abroad. ip ‘Where goods have been obisined by the owner in any other way than by actual purchase, the law ve the invoice to exhibit the fair market value abroad. “Where the value declared in the entry shal, on due appreisement of the goods, be found so far below the foreign ecet or merk t value, «8 to raise & presumption of being fraudulent sei- sure and confiscation of the good: id take place a ~ provisions ate aot © second Mareh, and prosecution e offen party, under the ioth section of the waif ‘act of ‘ch “August, 1842, instituted.” And on the fifth of July, 1860, it became neces- eary to repeat, in substaace, the rules and regula- tions preseribed by Secretary Walker, in regard to the date in reference to which appraiseinents of the market value of imports should be made. ** It has been re; ted that in many eases the appraisers have felt restrained, in the disc! of the result of frequent appeals In order, therefore, R = a al ‘wares and merchandise imported into the Uui States, the following rules and regulations are ¢s- tablished :— “1. That ad yn of the exportation of mer- is the at which the value or price of is to be fixed by the a. ordiaary cases the date of the bill of regarded us the period of exporta- all important cases the a—- course indicated in the 17th seetion ae eae the collector and ra in cach euch nt when rs connected therewith, and the views of the collector thereon, are to be forwarded to the de) ent immediately. *5. That in order that the department may be informed, e far as may be, of the appraised valee the articles imported, and witha new to secure the atest teal uniformity, & monthly report Il be forwarded according to the form herewith, (A,) at porta where there are no appraisers appointed, the foreign value is to be ascertained, in the man- ner bsfore prescribed, by the revenue officers to whom is committed by the laws, the estknatisg and collection of duties in suck cases.” In order to ascertain the operatioa of the tariff act of the 30th July, 1846, the exteat and the man- ner in which frauds upon the revenue were com- mitted, Mr. Secretary Meredith issued & circular, under date of the 6th August, 1849, as follows :— “Representations have been made to this de ment of the unequal ration of the act of Cen. gress, July 90, 1846, ‘reducing the duty on imports, and for other purposes,” and likewise of the im- crease of frauds upon the revenue since this act bt into eflvet. ie “Ia order that information of a definite and re- liable character wy these and other points may be in the posse of the deparument, | request thet will state such facts as are within your knowledge, of the practical operation of the act referred to, eape cially: — “1.
