Port Restrictions and Requirements in the United States/Japan Trade

Streszczenie

The Federal Maritime Commission, in response to apparent unfavorable conditions in the foreign oceanborne trade between the United States and Japan, proposes the imposition of fees on liner vessels operated by Japanese carriers calling at United States ports. The effect of the rule will be to adjust or meet unfavorable conditions caused by Japanese port restrictions and requirements by imposing countervailing burdens on Japanese carriers.
