The second most important fish product is the sardine. The 

 statistics show that American sardines make up a goodly part of the 

 total importations by Chile. Under tariff No. 2<S canned sardines pay 

 a duty of 0.30 gold pesos per kilo, or $4.97 per 100 pounds gross weight. 

 The duties were not increased by the recent amendment to the 

 customs tariff. The detailed figures of importations for 1919 and 

 1920 follow:
