Schedule K.-Wool and Manufactures of Wool.

All wools, hair of the camel, goat, alpaca, and other like animals shall be divided for the purpose of fixing duties to be charged thereon into three following classes;

Class 1: Merino, mestiza, metz, or metis wools, or other wools of Merino blood, immediate or remote, Down clothing wools, and wools of like character with any of preceding, including such as have been heretofore usually imported into U. S. from Buenos Ayres, New Zealand, Australia, Cape of Good Hope, Russia, Great Britain, Canada, and elsewhere, and also including all wools not hereinafter described or designated in Classes 2 and 3.

Class 2: Leicester, Cotswold, Lincolnshire, Down combing wools, Canada long wools, or other like combing wools of English blood, and usually known by terms herein used, and also hair of camel, goat, alpaca, and other like animals.

Class 3: Donskoi, native South American, Cordova, Valparaiso, native Smyrna, Russian camel's hair, and including all such wools of like character as have been heretofore usually imported into U. S. from Turkey, Greece, Egypt, Syria, and elsewhere, excepting improved wools hereinafter provided for. The standard samples of all wools which are now or may be hereafter deposited in the principal custom houses of U. S., under authority of Secretary of Treasury, which shall be standards for classification of wool under this act, and Secretary of Treasury shall have authority to renew these standards and to make such additions to them from time to time as may be required, and he shall cause to be deposited like standards in other custom houses of U. S. when needed.

Whenever wools of Class 3 shall have been improved by the admixture of Merino or English blood from their present character as represented by standard samples now or hereafter to be deposited in principal custom houses of U. S., such improved wools shall be classified for duty either as Class 1 or as Class 2, as the case may be.

The duty on wools of first class which shall be im. ported washed shall be twice the amount of duty to which they would be subjected if imported unwashed; and duty on wools of first and second classes which shall be imported scoured shall be three times the duty to which they would be subjected if imported unwashed.

Unwashed wools shall be considered such as shall have been shorn from sheep without any cleansing, i. e, in their natural condition. Washed wools shall be considered such as have been washed with water on sheep's back. Wool washed in any other manner than on sheep's back shall be considered as scoured wool.

The duty upon wool of sheep or hair of camel, goat, alpaca, and other like animals which shall be imported in any other than ordinary condition, or which shall be changed in its character or condition for purpose of evading duty, or which shall be reduced in value by admixture of dirt or any other foreign substance, or which has been sorted or increased in value by rejection of any part of original fleece, shall be twice the duty to which it would be otherwise subject: Provided, That skirted wools as now imported are hereby excepted. Wools on which a duty is asssessed amounting to three times or more than that which would be assessed if said wool was imported unwashed, such duty shall not be doubled on account of its being sorted.
