C., U. S. A.: GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE, Import Duties of Bolivia. In the preparation of these tables the official classification of the Bolivian tariff has been followed, which differs materially from that of the United States. Except in a few cases, the customs duties of Bolivia are assessed upon an official valuation of each article of merchandise imported, such valuation being declared annually by a decree of the Executive, usually upon the first of January. The valuations expressed in English are calculated on the basis of the official valuation of foreign coins issued by the Director of the Mint of the United States, October 1, 1891, in which the Boliviano, or dollar, of 100 centésimos is valued at 72.3 cents United States currency. ency. There is a surcharge of 25 per cent on the rates here given, which the executive may increase to 50 per cent and may be varied as to the custom-house to be affected. Importations at Beni, San Matias, and Puerto Suarez are exempt from the additional charge. 52193 3. |
