Treaty Scenario Shapes Tariff Accord Between US and Cuba
Washington reports from the Senate Foreign Relations Committee indicate swift action after Christmas to push a reciprocity treaty with Cuba. The pact lowers Cuban tariffs on most American goods by 20 percent, while the United States grants a uniform 25 to 60 percent cut for imports from Cuba, excluding tobacco. If either country shifts tariffs, the other may abrogate or renegotiate. The agreement becomes effective 10 days after both ratify.
