Imports Rise as Russia Removes Tariffs
The removal of retaliatory duties on American imports in St. Petersburg has spurred ship orders for engines pumps and machinery. Agents rush shipments to Cronstadt before navigation closes to avoid rail transshipment costs and to exploit favorable treaty rates before higher duties take effect. The new treaty with Germany raises duties across machinery by 1 to 20 percent but is seen as less harmful than retaliatory duties. The Baku disaster is expected to boost American pump sales in the oil region.
