Addition of Tuvalu to the List of Nations Entitled to Special Tonnage Tax Exemption

Краткое содержание

Pursuant to information provided by the Department of State, the Customs Service has found that Tuvalu does not impose discriminating duties of tonnage or imposts upon vessels belonging to citizens of the United States, or upon the produce, manufactures, or merchandise imported in the same from the United States or from any foreign country. Accordingly, vessels of Tuvalu are exempt from special tonnage taxes and light money in ports of the United States. This document amends the Customs Regulations by adding Tuvalu to the list of nations whose vessels are exempt from the payment of any higher tonnage duties than are applicable to vessels of the United States and from the payment of light money.
