* Article 69 of the Customs Ordinance is as follows :—
“ Goods not included ir the Tariff will be valued by the Appraisers according to the price
* obtained at the last wholesale sales effected under Customs supervision. Failing this basis of
* comparison the valuation will be accomplished by taking the current price which the same
*“ article fetches on the spot minus the import duties; but if this information, too, cannot be
‘“ obtained, then the Appraiser will use discretion in determining the value, having regard to the
“ quality of the article.”
