The schedule of duties for 1812 on imports into the United States, with columns for rates payable for shipping on U.S. vessels and for imports brought in on foreign vessels. With occasional mounted cancels to rates in the text. (Galoshes, for instance, seem to have had their duties adjusted and here need revision.) Given the role of trade and tariffs in the hostilities between Britain and the United States leading up to the War of 1812, and the subsequent controversies around protectionism, the minutiae here of duties here suggests the nitty-gritty of implementing trade policy in the Republic.
