;/vÜ.^ IMPORT DUTIES ON AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS, 1959^

By Lucille Corder and Annette A. Parisi

Trade Policy Division

Introduction

This report contains the U. S. import duties and import taxes that have been in effect on v

agricultural products from June 18, 1930 (the effective date of the Tariff Act of 1930), to January 1, )

1959. For each product the tariff treatment obtaining in 1930 and changes made since then are

indicated. Wherever feasible, the import tax imposed since 1930 on certain products--dutiable

or free--is also shown. Products that are free of duty or exempt from import tax are also

included.

The data contained in this report, although compiled from official sources, are presented

here for informational purposes only. They do not constitute authority as to the rate of duty

legally applicable to any given imported article. Any question as to the tariff classification of

any product for importation into the United States and the applicable rate of duty should be directed to the Bureau of Customs, Washington 25, D. C. for an authoritative ruling.

Most products included here are classified as agricultural under present coding practices

of the Bureau of the Census and other governmental agencies. However, oils and fats from

rnarine animals and fish have also been included because they are competitive with animal and

vegetable oils and fats.

Any agricultural comnciodity not listed specifically is included in one of the "basket" items

for certain categories of products "not specially provided for" (nspf) or "not elsewhere specified" (nes). There are many of these "basket" items in both the U. S. Tariff Act and in Schedule

A (Statistical Classification of Imports into the United States).

In all cases, the last rate of duty shown in the reportis the January 1, 1959 rate and applies to

all foreign countries except for Cuba and the Philippines and for the Soviet Union and Communistdominated areas. The tariff and import tax status of products of Cuba and the Philippines are

discussed separately in the two sections that follow. Products of the Soviet Union and Communist-dominated areas pay the full 1930 rates of duty (or section 336 rates, if any. See page 4 for

explanation of section 336.) The status of these areas is also discussed separately.

Tariff and Tax Status of Products of Cuba

At the tinne of enactment of the Tariff Act of 1930, Cuban products imported into the United

States were accorded preferential rates 20 percent below the general rates of duty or in a few

cases preferential free entry, in accordance with the commitnnents of the Convention ofComnnercial Reciprocity of 1902 between the United States and Cuba. Under the reciprocal trade agreement with Cuba, effective September 3, 1934, the preference in the U.S. duty on certain Cuban

products was increased.

Pursuant to the Exclusive Agreement Between the United States of America and Cuba Supplementing the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), negotiated at Geneva in 1947,

preferential tariff treatment was continued with respect to certain Cuban products and discontinued with respect to others. The principal Cuban products are still accorded preferential tariff

treatment on entry into the United States. The preferential rate of duty applicable to Cuba is in

most cases specified in Part II of Schedule XX (U.S. concessions) of the GATT. A relatively few

Cuban products which are not described in Part II or Part I of Schedule XX continue to be accorded applicable margins of preference, but not bound rates of duty, until such margins are

reduced or eliminated as a result of concessions granted by the United States to third countries.

Under GATT, the United States may not increase any margin of preference above the specific

nnargin of preference prevailing on April 10, 1947,

The preferential rates which are applicable to Cuba are indicated in this tabulation.
Tariff and Tax Status of Products of the Philippines

Prior to April 30, 1946, imports of Philippine products not containing foreign materials

with a value in excess of 20 percent of their total value were free of duty under section 301 of

the Tariff Act of 1930.

Under the Philippine Trade Act of 1946 (P. L. 371-79th Cong.), this duty-free status

was continued until July 4, 1954.

The Trade Act of 1946 was amended in 1954 (P. L. 474-83rd Cong.) to extend the duty-free

status of Philippine products to January 1, 1956, when the revised Philippine Trade Act of 1955

(P. JL. 196-84th Cong.) became effective.

The revised act changed substantially the provisions in the original act for the progressive

elimiination of tariff preferences. As compared with the original act, the revised act provided

that U. S. rates of duty on imports of Philippine products should increase much more slowly in

the early years and nnuch nnore rapidly in the later years. The schedule for eliminating the

tariff preferences on products of the Philippines under the revised (1955) act follows:

Proportion of U. S.

I^e^io^ duties applicable^

Percent

1956-58 5

1959-61 ,,._ 10

1962-64 , . . . 20

1965-67 40

1968-70 60

1971-73 80

1974-(Jan. 1 - July 3) 2 ¿00

-• On those articles on which Cuba receives preferential treatment, the Cuban rate is the duty to which

the percentages apply.

2 This agreement has no effect after July 3, 1974.

The revised Trade Act also modified substantially the provisions of the original agreement

that established absolute quotas and declining duty-free quotas on certain Philippine products.

Under the revised act, the absolute import quotas on Philippine sugar and cordage were continued, but those on Philippine rice, cigars, cigar filler and scrap tobacco, coconut oil, and pearl

or shell buttons were eliminated. Imports of Philippine rice ceased to be subject to any quota

under the revised agreennent; imports of cigars, cigar filler and scrap tobacco, coconut oil, and

pearl or shell buttons, however, continued to be subject to declining duty-free quotas (in lieu of

increasing import duties). The schedule of declining duty-free quotas in the revised act followed

the same pattern as the schedule of increases in U. S. import duties--that is, for each category

of Philippine articles, the quantity entitled to duty-free entry was reduced, not at the uniform

rate of 5 percent of the base quantity each year as provided in the 1946 act, but by the same

progression as import duties were to be increased. The base quantities of the articles on which

the annual quotas were to be calculated were the same in the revised act as in the 1946 act, and

are as follows:

Cigars 200 million

Scrap tobacco and stemnmedand unsteramed

filler tobacco 6.5 million lbs.

Coconut oil 200, 000 long tons

Buttons of pearl or shell 850, 000 gross

The absolute annual quotas, dutiable in accordance with the percentage schedules given above,

are as follows:

Sugar, of which 56, 000 short tons may be 952., 000 short tons,

"direct-consumption" sugar commiercial weight

Cordage 6 million lbs.

Until July 4, 1974, Philippine products are subject to all import taxes at the same rate as

are products of Cuba. Philippine coconut oil receives a preferential margin of 2fi per pound in
the "first domestic processing" tax^ in the United States until July 4, 1974, unless the President

finds that neither copra nor coconut oil are readily available in adequate supply and proclaims

the suspension of the 2^-per-pound differential. The Philippine Trade Act also provides that no

processing or internal tax shall be imposed on manila (abaca) fiber, not dressed or manufactured in any manner.

Tariff and Tax Status of Products of the Soviet Union and Communist-dominated Areas

Until the Trade Agreements Extension Act of 1951, the trade agreements legislation provided for the extension of U. S. concessions to all foreign countries except those discriminating

against U. S. products or otherwise tending to defeat the purposes of the Trade Agreements Act.

The Extension Act of June 16, 1951 (P. L. 50-82nd Congo), directed the President to withdraw

all such concessions, "as soon as practicable, " on products from the Soviet Union and "any

nation or area dominated or controlled by the world Communist movement. " The full Tariff Act

of 1930 rates (or section 336 rates, if any) and the full rates of taxes thus apply to products of

the following countries or areas:

Albania Indochina (any part of Cambodia, Laos, or

Bulgaria Vietnam, under Comm.unist domination)

China (any part under Communist Korea (any part under Communist domination)

domination) Kurile Islands

Czechoslovakia Latvia

Danzig Lithuania

East Prussia Outer Mongolia

Estonia Poland

Germany: Rumania

The Soviet Zone and the Soviet Southern Saklialin

Sector of Berlin Tannu Tuva

Areas under Polish domination Tibet

Hungary Union of Soviet Socialist Republics

Imports of ermine, fox, kolinsky, marten, mink, muskrat, and weasel furs and skins,

dressed or undressed, which are the product of the Soviet Union or Communist China are prohibited pursuant to a directive in the Extension Act of 1951.

Restrictions Under the Sugar Act

Beginning with the Jones-Costigan Act of 1934 and continuing with the Sugar Acts of 1937

and 1948, sugar marketings in the United States, whether of domestic or foreign origin, have

been limited by absolute quotas, except during periods of emergency when the President has

exercised his authority to suspend the quotas. The Sugar Act of 1948 was amended and extended

in 1951 and again in 1956. Its life currently extends through I960.

Under the sugar program, the Secretary of Agriculture determines the quantity of sugar

needed each year to supply the requirements of consumers in continental United States, taking

into account "prices which will not be excessive to consumers and which will fairly and equitably

maintain and protect the welfare of the dom.estic sugar industry. " The quantity is then allocated,

in the manner specified by law, among the mainland and offshore domestic producing areas, the

Republic of the Philippines, Cuba, and other foreign countries. (See quota table, p. 10.)

Under current legislation, the allocations are naade in two stages. First, for requirements

up to 8, 350, 000 tons, raw value (the amount initially determined by the Secretary of Agriculture

as U. S. consumption requirements for 1956), the quotas for dom.estic producing areas (domestic

beet and mainland cane, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands) and the Philippines are

absolute quantities. The remiainder of the total anaount determined by the Secretary of Agriculture (up to 8, 350, 000 tons) is allocated proportionately to Cuba (96 percent) and to other foreign

countries exclusive of the Philippines (4 percent). Second, for any part of the quantity of sugar

requirements in excess of 8, 350, 000 tons, donnestic areas are allocated a 55-percent share and

foreign countries other than the Philippines, a 45-percent share. In 1956, any quantity in excess

"^ Under P.L. 85-235, the first domestic processing tax is reduced from 5^ to 2i per pound from September 29, 1957 through June 30,

1960. Thus, until July 1, 1960, imports of coconut oil from the Philippines will bear no domestic processing tax, since its coconut oil

enjoys a 2i per pound margin of preference.
of 8, 350, 000 tons allocable to foreign countries other than the Philippines was prorated to Cuba

(96 percent) and other foreign countries (4 percent). Beginning in 1957, the share allocated to

foreign countries other than the Philippines was prorated as follows: To Cuba (29. 59 percent),

Mexico (5. 10 percent), the Dominican Republic (4.95 percent), Peru (4. 33 percent), and other

countries (1. 03 percent). As noted above, the allocation to the Philippines is a fixed amount and

so that country was not allocated a share of any quantity in excess of 8, 350, 000 tons.

The Sugar Act provides for reallocation of deficits from any supplying area, and, for offshore areas (both domestic and foreign), limits the quantity that may be supplied as refined

(direct-consumption) sugar. The act also provides for snaall separate quotas on imports of liquid

sugar from foreign countries.

Restrictions Under Section 22 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1933, as Amended

Innport quotas and fees imposed under section 22 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act, as

amiended, are included in these tabulations.

Section 22 authorizes the President to restrict imports of any commodity, either by import

fees or by quota limitations, whenever such imports render or tend to render ineffective, or

materially interfere with programs of the Department of Agriculture relating to agricultural

commodities, or reduce substantially the amount of any product processed in the United States

from any agricultural commodity or product thereof with respect to which any such program or

operation is being undertaken. Fees may not exceed 50 percent ad valorem and quotas may not

be less than 50 percent of the quantity imported during a previous representative period, as determined by the President.

Import controls under section 22 were in effect on January 1, 1959, on cotton and cotton

waste (including extra-long-staple cotton but excluding short harsh cotton), wheat and wheat

products, tung nuts and tung oil, rye, rye flour and meal, butter, dried whole milk, dried

skimmed milk, dried cream, dried buttermilk, malted milk and compounds and mixtures of or

substitutes for milk or cream, certain cheeses, peanuts, peanut oil, flaxseed, linseed oil,

butter substitutes including butter oil containing 45 percent or more of butterfat and articles

containing 45 percent or more of butterfat (except those articles already under control, cheeses,

evaporated and condensed milk, and products imported in retail packages).

Section 336, Tariff Act of 1930, "Equalization of Costs of Production"

Changes in import duties resulting from Tariff Commission investigations of foreign and

donnestic costs of production are included in these tabulations. Whenever the Commission finds

that the duties expressed by statute do not equalize these costs of production, the Commission

recommends to the President any increases or decreases in duty that are necessary for such

equalization. Increases or decreases of rates of duty naay not exceed 50 percent of the rates

fixed by statute. Section 336 does not apply to any article on which the United States has granted

a concession under a trade agreement.

The "Escape Clause, " Section 7 of the Trade Agreements Extension Act of 1951, as Amended

The statutory escape clause procedure is contained in section 7 of the Trade Agreements

Extension Act of 1951. The escape clause provides, in essence, that either party to a trade

agreement may withdraw or modify any concessions made therein, if the article on which the

concession was granted enters in such increased quantities as to cause or threaten serious injury

to the domestic industry producing like or directly competitive articles. Such a clause was first

included in the bilateral trade agreement between the United States and Mexico (1943).

Only two Tariff Commission investigations on agricultural products have resulted in action

under this escape clause provision. These concerned dried figs (Aug. 16, 1952) and alsike clover

seed (June 30, 1954). The escape clause actions on these products are shown in the tabulations.

Reciprocal Trade Agreements

Most of the rate-of-duty changes that these tabulations record have resulted from reciprocal trade agreement negotiations under section 350 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended. The
5

original Trade Agreements Act was enacted June 12, 1934, for a 3-year period. Among other

things, it authorized the President to proclaim modifications of import duties, subject to the limitation that no "existing" rate of duty could be increased or decreased by more than 50 percent.

The act linked the most-favored-nation principle of 1923 with tariff-bargaining authority.

The Trade Agreements Act of 1934 was extended for two successive 3-year periods and

then in 1943, for 2 more years. A major change in negotiating authority came in 1945 when the

act was extended for 3 years and authorized, among other things, 50-percent reductions of the

rates in effect January 1, 1945. This authority was subsequently extended five times to June 1¿,

1955. Another major change in the negotiating authority was contained in 1955 legislation that

amended the act of 1951. Authority was given to reduce duties by not more than 15 percent of the

rates in effect on January 1, 1955. Not more than a 5-percent reduction was authorized at any

one time and each 5-percent reduction must be in effect for one year before a further 5-percent

reduction can be made. Alternatively, duties higher than 50 percent ad valorem (or ad valorem

equivalent) can be reduced to 50 percent, but not more than one-third of the reduction may be

made at one time and each part must be in effect for not less than one year. The Trade Agreements Extension Act of 1955 expired June 30, 1958. The Trade Agreements Extension Act of

1958 will remain in effect until the close of June 30, 1962. This Act gives the President additional authority to enter into foreign trade agreements.

^ Imports have also been subject to absolute quotas since 1934. See table on "Final adjusted sugar quotas" on

the following page. Ing^orts from all countries of manufactured sugar (that is, direct-consumption sugar) are

also subject to an "liic)ort compensating tax" of 0.535 cent per lb. of sugar polarizing 100 degrees.

2 And fractions of a degree in proportion.

3 These rates are effective only during such time as title II of the Sugar Act of 1948, or substantially

equivalent legislation, is in effect, whether or not the quotas, or any of them, authorized by such legislation

are being applied or are suspended.

^ The reduction in the trade agreement with Cuba was suspended in accordance with the agreement when quotas

were suspended.

5 The Tydings-McDuffie Act of 1934 provided for a 10-year annual tariff-free quota of 952,000 short tons,

commercial weight, of sugar from the Philippines. Any excess vms dutiable. See footnote 3 of the table on U. S.

^ These are absolute quotas on imports. "Final adjusted quotas" differ from "Final basic quotas" by deficit

declarations and reallocations. The most important deficit declaration occurring during several years was

against the Philippine quota during the period of post-war reconstruction. A country against whose quota a deficit has been declared retains the right to ship its entire basic quota. The statutory Philippine quota has been

952,000 short tons, commercial weight (approximately 980,000 short tons, raw value).

2 Not more than 375,000 short tons, raw value, of the Cuban quota nor 56,000 tons, commercial weight, of the

Philippine quota nor, typically, such portion of the quota for other foreign countries which exceeds 1.36^ of

the combined quotas of foreign countries, other than the Philippines, may be imported for direct consumption

(i.e. without domestic refining).

^ In the Sugar Act of 1937, the Philippines had a quota stated in terms of a percentage of total U. S. sugar

requirements. They did not make use of this quota to the extent that it was in excess of their duty-free quota

of 952,000 short tons, commercial weight. Substantially similar circumstances prevailed in 1935 and 1936 under

the provisions of the Jones-Costigan Act.

^ Qiotas were not in effect 9/11/39-12/31/39.

^ Effective 9/3/36, an absolute quota was placed on sirups and sugar mixtures containing soluble sugar solids

equal to 6fo or less of total soluble solids, under the- authority of the Jones-Costigan Act of 1934, as extended

by Joint Res. 109. The Sugar Act of 1937 defined the products to which these import quotas applied as "liquid

sugar." This act set the Cuban quota at 7,970,588 gal. and the quota for the Dominican Republic at 830,894 gal.

(both in wine gal. of 72^ total sugar content), with no quota for other foreign countries. These quotas were

suspended between 9/12/39 and 12/31/39 and from 4/13/43 until 12/31/47. The same quotas became effective again

1/1/48 under the Sugar Act of 1948. In the 1951 amendment of the Sugar Act, an additional quota of 300,000 gal.

was established for the British West Indies. The_se quotas are still in effect.

2 An "import compensating tax" also applies to imports of this category if they are manufactured sugar (that

is, direct consumption sugar). This tax is 0.5144/ per lb. of total sugars.

^ And fractions of 1^ in proportion.

^ These reduced rates of duty are effective only during such time as title II of the Sugar Act of 1948, or

substantially equivalent legislation, is in effect in the United States, whether or not the quotas, or any of

them, authorized by such legislation are being applied or are suspended.

^ These are the effective rates, which are the maximum rates that could be proclaimed under the Trade Agreements Act of 1951, as amended. The United States negotiated the right under the agreement to impose the rates,

now applicable only to the class testing in total sugars 56.8^ or more fnot the product of Cuba) and 74.6^ or

more (product of Cuba), to all levels of sug^r content.

^ Philippine products were free of duty until 1/1/56, at which time gradually increasing percentages of the

rate of duty applicable to the product of Cuba began to be applied. See the section on the Tariff and Tax

Status of Products of the Philippines on page 2.

2 Beginning with the calendar year 1941 there was a Philippine tax on exports to the United States of 5^ of

the full United States duty (P.L. 300, 76th Congress). The tax was suspended during 1942, reinstated during 1943

and increased by 5^ per year to a total of 15^ in 1945 (P.L. 367, 77th Congress). It was repealed^as of 5/1/46

by the Philippine Trade Act. See the section on the Tariff and Tax Status Products of the Philippines on page 2.

3 Under this agreement, all dutiable Cuban tobacco and tobacco products (unstemmed equivalent) were subject to

an annual absolute quota equal to 18^ of the quantity of tobacco used in the manufacture of cigars in the United

States during the preceding calendar year. The reduced duties to Cuba on these products were also conditioned on

continuation of the United States cigar-tobacco adjustment program. This program was terminated on 3/16/36, but

the rate on Cuban wrapper remained at $1.50 lb. because of the reduction in duty in the Netherlands trade agreement on 2/1/36 and Cuba's guaranteed preference of 20^.

Philippine cigar filler, stemmed and unstemmed, and scrap tobacco were made subject to a duty-free quota of

4.5 million lbs. for the calendar year 1940, with successive reductions in the quota during the following years

until Philippine independence, after which the Philippine product would become subject to regular United States

duties. The quota for the calendar year 1940 was 4.5 million lbs. and for 1941 it was 4,275,000 lbs.

2 As a wartime measure, the tariff quota for 1942 was restored to 4.5 million lbs. The progressive reductions

in the quotas were resimied thereafter until passage of the Philippine Trade Act effective 1/1/46. The quotas, in

lbs. per calendar year, for cigar filler, stemmed and unstemmed, and scrap tobacco were as follows:

1943 4,275,000

1944 4,050,000

1945 3,825,000

^ The Philippine Trade Act effective V'l/56 provides for annual tariff-free quotas which gradually decrease.

Beginning 1/1/74 there will be no duty-free quota. From 1/1/74 to 7/4/74 Philippine products will pay the same

rate as Cuban products; as of 7/4/74 Philippine products will pay full duty rather than receiving the preferential rates to Cuban products. See the section on the Tariff and Tax Status of Products of the Philippines on

" In 1948 a tariff quota was effective permitting imports of 5 million lbs. per calendar year of shelled,

blanched, roasted, and prepared or preserved walnuts (excluding walnut paste). Since 12/11/50 (after China's

withdrawal from GATT) the duty on all shelled walnuts imported has reverted to 15/ per lb. ALI such imports are

still counted against the quota, however; the duty on walnuts, blanched, roasted, prepared or preserved is still

7.5/ per lb. until the quota is filled and then reverts to 15/ per lb.

2 Although both Syria and Lebanon withdrew from GATT in 1951, the concessions made by the United States to the

Syria-Lebanon customs union have not been changed.
