THE CUSTOMS TARIFF OF JAPAN
In pursuance of Article III. of the Japanese Customs Tariff Law, the Customs Tariff for Japan has been revised in respect of those articles of import into the Japanese Empire, the rates of Customs duties on which are not fixed by the Commercial Treaties concluded by Japan with the various Powers. The revised Tariff came into force on the 1st April, 1903, and in view of the very considerable number of alterations which have been made, it has been thought desirable to pablish the whole of the Customs Tariff of Japan as it now exists, including, that is, not only the articles and rates of duty covered by the Revision Ordinance, but also those covered by the treaties referred to above, to which the Ordinance did not apply.
