cluding all dutiable costs and charges and as to all fees and
exactions of whatever character (except duties on tonnage)

and exactions other than duties, shall, within ten days after
"but not before" such ascertainment and liquidation of duties
as well in cases of merchandise entered in bond as for con-
sumption, or within ten days after the payment of such fees,
charges, and exactions, if dissatisfied with such decision give
