Book excerpt: Excerpt from U. S. Import Duties: Under Existing Laws and Decisions, and Digest of the Tariff Laws, July 1, 1883, With an Appendix, Containing Tables of Foreign Moneys, Weights and Measures, Reduced to United States Standard and Rates of Tare In presenting this Manual to the public, the compiler deems it only necessary to remark that an experience in the business of Custom-House Broker for upwards of Twelve Years, justifies his recommending it as a reliable work; and it may be readily inferred what amount of labor and research was required in its compilation, when it is considered that the provisions of the tariff laws, now in force, date back as far as the Act of August 30, 1842. The Manual will be found to contain a Digest of the Tariff Laws from August 30, 1842, to date, thus covering the changes made at the last session of Congress, and a Schedule of the Rates of duties, alphabetically arranged, (each article bearing reference to the paragraphs of the Digest which prescribes the rate of duty, ) and, in addition, numerous Extracts from Important Decisions of the Treasury Department and Explanatory Notes, with an Appendix of Tables of Foreign Moneys, Weights, and Measures, reduced to the United States standard, Rates of Tare, Rates of Drawback, and other important Regulations of the Customs, which cannot fail to prove of service, not only to the importer, but also to those dealing in imported articles and to the general business public. Preface To Sixth Edition. The former Editions of the Manual having met with such flattering success, the compiler has been encouraged to issue "The Sixth Edition," revised to conform to the new law of March 3, 1883, which he presents to the public with full assurance of its reliability and correctness. In the preparation of this edition, the compiler has been assisted by Mr. Win. H. Masson, of Baltimore, whose practical experience in matters connected with the Tariff, embraces a period of near twenty years.
