MODIFICATIONS OF TARIFF.

NOTES.

Where merchandise is of finer quality and larger size than that designated in the tariff, duty shall be charged in such manner as to accord with its quality or size, proportioned to the duty fixed by the tariff. (Article 24, third paragraph of the law of July 1, 1871.)

A surtax of fifty per cent. upon the established duties upon imports; of weighing; and of wharfage; of imports, and upon the established duty of tonnage is collected and credited to the Caisse of Amortissement. (Law of November 17, 1876.)

A surtax of twenty per cent. upon exports is collected and credited to the Caisse of Amortissement. (Law of November 17, 1876.)

HAYTIAN TARIFF CHANGES.

REPORT BY CONSUL GOUTIER, OF CAPE HAYTIEN.

The Haytian legislature at their extraordinary session enacted a law diminishing the export duties on coffee 33 per cent. As the coffee crop is 600,000,000 pounds, and the duties $3 per 100 pounds, this makes $1,800,000, one-third of which is $600,000, revenue which the Government relinquishes; but to equilibrate this, 333 per cent. has been added to all importations.

Inclosure No. 1 will show the mode of calculating the duties, with the 33 per cent. additional.

No. 2 shows the heavy port charges.

I have selected, pro forma, a vessel of 400 tons. Omitting the charges for throwing away the ballast, at 25 cents per ton of ballast, the port charges amount to $1,141, and should, as some of our merchants suppose, the 33 per cent. be added to the tonnage dues of vessels it will augment this sum $133.34, making a total of $1,274.34.

I called this morning on the minister of war, and told him that although I know that it regards the minister of finances, still I desired to speak to him, informally, concerning the 333 per cent. on vessels, which, I thought, would be a heavy additional tax should the new law on importations be so construed as to include them.

He replied that he did not think that the new law affects vessels; still I should bear in mind that he only expressed a personal opinion. STANISLAS GOUTIER,
