U. S. Tariff Commission 



HEARING ON IMPORT DUTIES 



FOR CANNED CLAMS: 



A public hearing was scheduled to be held 

 September 7, 1966, by the U. S. Tariff Com- 

 mission in connection with an investigation 

 on several products, including canned clams, 

 which for import duty purposes are subject 

 to the American selling price basis of val- 

 uation. An earlier hearing on the subject 

 was held June 8, 1966. 



A Commission report dated July 25, 1966, 

 (TC Publication 181) contained a schedule of 

 converted rates of duty for clams other than 

 razor clams (including clam pastes and sauces 

 but not clam chowder) in airtight containers. 

 Included also are whole clam meats, m.inced 

 clam meats, smoked whole clam meats, clam 

 sauce, and oriental specialties (seasoned, 

 baked, and broiled clams canned in Japan). 



Notice of the hearing was published in the 

 Federal Register , August 3, 1966, as follows: 



TARIFF COMMISSION 



1332^91 



CANNED CLAMS AND CERTAIN 

 OTHER PRODUCTS 



Investigation of Economic Impact of 

 Concessions on Certain Products 

 Now Subject to Duly on American 

 Selling Price Basis of Valuation 



Notice is hereby given that the U.S. 

 Tariff Commission, on the basis of a re- 

 quest made by the Acting Special Rep- 

 resentative for Tiade Negotiations at the 

 direction of the President, has Instituted, 

 pursuant to section 332 of the Tariff Act 

 of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1332), an investiga- 

 tion with respect to the following prod- 

 ucts which for duty purposes are now 

 subject to the American selling price 

 basis of valuation: 



1. Canned clams: Schedule 1, part 3E, head- 



note 1; Item 114.05. 



2. Chemical products: Schedule 4. part 1. 



headnotes 4 and 5; all items in sub- 

 parts B and C. 



3. Footwear: Schedule 7, part lA, headnote 



3(b); Item 700.60. 



4. Knit gloves: Schedule 7, part IC, head- 



note 4, Item 704.55. 



A Commission report dated July 25, 

 1966 (TC Publication 181), contains a 

 schedule of converted rates of duty based 

 on conventional methods of valuation 

 which the Commission determined 

 would have provided substantially the 

 same amount of collected duty in a re- 

 cent period as the existing rates on the 

 above-described products subject to 

 American-selling-price valuation. The 

 purpose of thjs investigation is to secure 

 Information for use in connection with 

 the preparation of advice to the Presi- 

 dent as to the probable economic effect 



Note: See Commercial Fisheries Review, 



upon the domestic industries producing 

 like or directly competitive articles — 



1. Of the elimination of the Ameri- 

 can-selling-price system of valuation 

 with a concurrent establishment of the 

 above mentioned schedule of converted 

 rates, and 



2. Of a reduction of up to 50 percent 

 in such new converted rates. 



The Commission's report of such advice 

 to the President will be submitted in 

 confidence no later than October 3, 1966. 

 Public hearings in connection with the 

 investigation will commence at 10 a.m., 

 e.d.s.t., on Wednesday, September 7, 

 1966, in the Hearing Room, Tariff Com-

 on or before September 1, 1966. Such

 pearances the request is filed. 



Because of the time limit in which the 

 Commission must complete its report, it 

 may be necessary to limit the time for 

 the presentation of oral testimony. 

 Accordingly, in scheduling appearances

 notified in advance of the date on which 

 they will be scheduled to present oral
