THE INDIA RUBBER WORLD 



[Al-cust 1, 1911. 



The New Japanese Tariff. 



WITH reference to the Statistics of Japanese Imports of India Rubber, on page 306 of June, 1911, issue, the subjoined tables 

 will be of interest, as showing the detailed application of the tariff now expiring and of that which is taking its place. Tlie 

 rates given for the former are the "conventional rates," applicable to iniportatinus from America, and in some cases lower than 

 those of the old general tariff. 



Owing to the classifications materially differing between the two tariffs, an exact comparison of their incidence is not prac- 

 ticable. Such concessions as other nations may obtain upon the rates of the new tariff, will doubtless be likewise applied to im- 

 portations from the United States. 



Crude rubber, it will be observed, is retained on the free list, as well as old rubber, only fit for rem.inufacluring.
