Japanese TV Imports Face U S Quota After July First
The United States and Japan finalize a color TV quota starting July 1 limiting fully assembled color receivers to 1,560,000 a year plus 190,000 partially assembled sets. Japan dumps prices via subsidies, triggering concerns from Zenith and others about fair competition and market share in a three way race with RCA and Japanese manufacturers dominating US TV sales.
