Standard Must Pay Duty on Oil in Philippines
Washington reports the Standard Oil company must pay about 10 percent ad valorem duty on oil imported to the Philippines since the tariff act took effect. The duty arises because the oil, grown in the United States, was canned with tin from imported stock that carried a drawback, meaning the tins were for export use. Without the drawback, both oil and can would be duty free. The small duty is seen as a precedent.
