SummaryResumen

An importer named Hugh Kelly brought a legal suit against collector Edward L. Hedden, claiming an exemption from duty for products imported from the Dominican Republic under a past treaty guaranteeing equality with products from any other country, specifically referencing products admitted free from the Sandwich Islands under an 1876 act. The United States Government contested this, arguing that the Hawaiian arrangement was not a mere reciprocity treaty but a commercial contract involving valuable consideration, and that granting the exemption would violate existing trade terms and lead to foreign trade complications.

Un importador llamado Hugh Kelly dedujo demanda contra el recaudador Edward L. Hedden, pretendiendo la exención aduanera para frutos introducidos desde la República Dominicana en virtud de un tratado pretérito que aseguraba la igualdad con los efectos de cualquier otra nación, invocando expresamente la franquicia concedida a las islas Sandwich por una ley de 1876. El Gobierno de los Estados Unidos contradijo la demanda alegando que el pacto hawaiano no era un mero tratado de reciprocidad sino una convención comercial con contraprestación valiosa, y que dispensar tal beneficio infringiría las condiciones mercantiles pactadas y acarrearía complicaciones en el comercio exterior.
