Syllabus

<p>1. Customs Duties — Glassification—Celluloid Tqys.</p> <p>Toys made of celluloid, a compound of pyroxylin, are less specifically designated in the provision in paragraph 17, Schedule A, § 1, c. 11, Tariff Act July 24, 1897, 30 Stat. 152 [U. S. Comp. St. 1901, p. 1628], for “all compounds of pyroxylin, * * * and articles of which * * * any compound of pyroxylin is the component material of chief value,” than in that in paragraph 418, Schedule N, 30 Stat. 191 [U. S. Oomp. St. 1901, p. 1674], for “toys * * * not specially provided for.”</p> <p>2. Same — Qualifying Words — Specific Designation.</p> <p>The expression “not otherwise provided for,” or .“not specially provided for,” in a tariff provision, does not deprive the general rule as to classification by specific designation of its ordinary application, so that a provision which specifically designates goods, but which is so qualified, shall not prevail over words of a general description in another provision containing no such qualification.</p>
