Section 428Sec./Art. 428

Assessment of Duty on Less Than Entered Value. Duty shall not be assessed in any case upon an amount less than the entered value, unless by direction of the Commissioner in cases when the importer certifies at the time of entry that the entered value is higher than the dutiable value and that the goods are so entered in order to meet increases made by the appraiser in similar cases then pending re-appraisement; and the lower assessment shall be allowed only when the importer's contention is sustained by a final decision, and shall appear that such action of the importer was taken in good faith after due diligence and inquiry.
