- sugars not above 13 D. S. subject to import duty of 1.40c per pound effective June 1, 1883 ⟨under Tariff act March 3, 1883⟩
Sugars not above 13 D. S. and not above 75-degree polarization, 1.40c per pound
judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 0.70 pass — The claim is largely supported by the passage, which directly states that under the March 3, 1883 tariff act, sugars not above 13 D. S. are subject to 1.40c per pound duty. Minor rewording occurs: the passage specifies the additional condition 'not above 75-degree polarization' and includes '.04c additional per degree or fraction thereof,' which the claim omits, but the base rate of 1.40c per pound is accurately stated.
- qualifier_fidelity 0.90 pass — Viewpoint should be 'passage' not 'author' since this is a direct quotation from a historical tariff act document, not analysis by an author. All other qualifiers are faithful: stance is correctly 'asserts', sentiment is 'neutral', time matches the passage's 'effective June 1, 1883', context accurately reflects 'Tariff act March 3, 1883', and quote appears verbatim and supports the claim.
