Complicated Tariffs Bar
To South American Trade

South American tariffs. with compli-
Gated systems OF fines and penalties,
form one great obstacle to free and
EASY commerce with this nation.
These difficulties are outlined in a
report today from the Bureau Of For
eign and Domestic Commerce.
Dr. Frank r. Rutter. assistant chief
of the bureau. has made a study Of
these tariffs for some years, and re.
Gently he has compiled them In a report
under the title of Tariff Systems OF
South American Countries"
The report goes into the matter OF
surtaxes in detail. This is a matter
which has always bothered tho Ameri-
can exporter. When money Is wanted
in South America for some new prof.
ect the surtax is the normal method Of
collecting It, and Americans get into
trouble. IL is stated. from falling to
realize this situation.
American exporters are greatly af-
fected by the penalties imposed for
failure to observe consular regula-
tons. for inexact statements of the
consular invoice or the commercial in
voice that lead the importer into false
declarations on his document and re-
suit in heavy fines.
