Foreign Import Duties on Boots and Shoes. 



THE following table, corrected to February 1, 1919, by the 

 Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, shows the 

 foreign import duties on rubber boots and shoes of all 

 descriptions, imported into the various counlries from the United 

 States. 



Owing to the frequency oi tariff changes the figures and in- 

 formation given in this table should be periodically verified. It 

 is also advised that small trial shipments be made in order to lest 

 the rates prior to sending more extensive shipments. 



In tlic lirst column is given the country, while the next column 

 contains the articles, with notes regarding surtaxes, basis of 

 rates, etc. The third column specifies whether the weight is to 

 be taken as gross or net and the last gives the ad valorem duty 

 or the rate of specific duty in United States currency. 



Due to the restrictions upon importations of rubber manufac- 

 turers in France, Italy, the United Kingdom and certain other 

 European countries, it is necessary for the foreign importer to 

 secure a license before making shipments to those countries.
