Payne tariff joker could let oil imports dodge duties
Representative Rufus Hardy exposes a hidden provision in the Payne tariff bill called the Standard Oil joker. It would allow 17,000,000 barrels of crude oil imported from Mexico to be exported in manufactured form without duties, by crediting domestic material use and drawing back 99 percent under the current rules. The plan would also leave 12,000,000 barrels for domestic consumption, straining the home market and benefiting the oil trust.
