FRANCE French Customs Tariff The rate of duty on almost every kind of merchandise has been increased since last year, calculated by the addition of a coefficient. For films the coefficient is 1.6, and printed matter 2.1. Thus by using the printed tariff published for 1919 we take Par. 469 qua., kinema films, and multiply by 1.6, which brings the present customs duty to: Per 100 kilogs. New rate of duty (220 lbs.) General tariff * M inimum tariff (multiply old tariff by 1.6) Printed films Frs. 264.00 Frs. 176.00 Raw stock Frs. 480.00 Frs. 320.00 Par. 470 — Printed matter — (multiply old tariff by 2.1) Without illustrations.
