Building a Chinese Wall A Duty on Canadian Cars
The Treasury Department will decide tomorrow on assessing duty on Canadian cars entering the United States. The plan follows Republican policy to restrict cross border traffic by classing cars as carriages and applying a 35 percent ad valorem duty, with new regulations to prevent free use of imported cars in domestic traffic. The move aims to curb Canadian trade and shift international traffic to American roads, affecting New England shippers and transit commerce.
