Foreign Import Duties on Rubber Tires. 



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

 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. 

 Tlie cohmin marked "Weight" shows whether duties are levied 

 on nH 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 Stales currency or the rate per 

 cent ad valorem.

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, frequent verifications of these figures is advised. 



Due to the restrictions upon importations of rubber manufac- 

 tures in France, Italy, and the United Kingdom, it is necessary 

 for the foreign importer to secure a license before making ship- 

 ments to those countries. The same is true of the neutral 

 couiUries of Europe other than Spain.
