Foreign Import Duties on Rubber Tires. 



THE FOLLOWING TABLE, corrected to February 15, 1920. by tlie 

 Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce shows the 

 foreign import duties on rubber tires of all descriptions 

 imported into the various countries from the United States. 



The column marked "Weight" shows whether duties are levied 

 on net or gross weight, or include simply the inner packings. 

 The next two columns give the rate of the duty for each one 

 hundred pounds in United States currency or the rale per 

 cent ad valorem. 



In the following monograph the surtaxes have been included 

 and the converted rates therefore indicate the actual duty payable. 



Certain charges, such as warehousing, customs handling, local 

 taxes, revenue stamps, etc., are not included. The rates of duty 

 shown, including the surtaxes as noted, should therefore be 

 regarded as the minima. As changes in duties are likely to occur 

 at any time, frecuent vertilication of these figures is advised.
