The scrap resulted as a result of wear and tear of various goods, such as wire netting used for fencing the applicant's grounds and the angles, channels being used, which the applicant wore out and therefore unsuitable for use as such.2. It cannot be disputed that the item in question falls within the definition of various scrap contained in the tariff emerged as a result of wear and wear of article which cannot be used as such.
