The items marked “B,” stipulated to consist of nylon ribbons similar in use to silk ribbons made from fabrics with fast edges, not over 12 inches wide, were held dutiable at 22% percent under paragraph 1207, as modified by the Torquay Protocol to the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (T.D. 52739), as claimed.
