An impression has seemed to prevail Bhroad that goods sent by the manufacturer abroad to @ consignee tn the United States for sale OM bid account could be invoiced at @ smail fraction above the vost of manufacture, thus giving an advantage over goods purchased from the manufacturer, which are required to be invoiced at the cost price, usualty bused on the open market value of such goods. To correct this impression and to fully inform shippers of the true State of the law upon the subject, the ciroular, after ciiing the provisions of law applicable, declares two general principles governing the declaration of invoice value, as fullows:— First—As to merenanaiso acquired by purchase, the invoice must state the uctual cust tuereol, with charges, &c, Second—As to merchandise acquired otherwise than by purchase, the invoice must exhibit the actual market value thereof at the perio’ of ex- Portation tu the privcipal markets oi the country irom whence exported, with the charges, and lob merely the cost to the manufacturer or prod icer.
