Mills' Tariff Bill Placed Before Full Committee
The Mills tariff measure submitted March 1 proposes a July 1 start for the free list, cuts revenue by about 23 million dollars, and extends bonded storage to three years. It revives packing charges and duties on containers, tightens penalties for customs irregularities, and adds many items to the free list including timber, salt, flax, hemp, and various textile and agricultural imports. The bill also shifts internal revenue timing to an early date.
