Foreign Import Duties on Rubber Tires. 



THE following table, corrected to November 20, shows the 

 foreign import duties on rubber tires of all descriptions 

 imported into various countries from the United States. 

 The column marl<ed "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 per 100 pounds 

 in United States currency or the rate per cent ad valorem. 



In this monograph the surtaxes have been included and the 

 converted rates therefore indicate the actual duty payable. 



Certain charges such as warehousing, custoins 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, frequent verification of these figures is advised.
