Canada in postwar years has been the principal export market 

 for United States shrimp; exports to Canada have shown substantial gains 

 in recent years as may be observed, from the following table: 



Fresh or frozen 



Canned 



Dried 



The United States obtained tariff concessions from Canada in 

 negotiations at Geneva, Switzerland, in 1956. Canadian import duties 

 were reduced on fresh, frozen, and canned shrimp. On fresh or frozen 

 shrimp, the duty was reduced from 12|- percent to 10 percent ad valorem. 

 On canned shrimp, the duties were cut from 15 to 10 percent. Reductions 

 were also negotiated in the duties on prepared and preserved, and peeled 

 and deveined shrimp. In the former, the duty was lowered from 22^ percent 

 to 10 percent, and in the latter from 172 percent to 10 percent.
