Classification disputes turned on the inherent character of imported flame cut used pipes versus treatment as waste or scrap; the principle of eo nomine and classification by character governs and requires attention to physical characteristics and chapter notes, but the appellants had voluntarily accepted departmental reclassification and paid duty and penalties without protest, which estops them from reopening classification or valuation.
