Historical customs tariffs and duty rules, 1828 edition, explained in plain language.

This reference compiles the rates of duties payable on goods imported into the United States in American vessels under a May 1828 act. It outlines how duties were calculated and collected, and how appraisers determined the actual value and yardage for ad valorem assessments.

Around the same pages, you’ll see the legal framework for revenue collection, including which goods were free, which carried specific per-unit charges, and how duties could change over time. The excerpt reflects the practical details a customs official or trader would need to know when valuing and assessing imported merchandise.

How duties were set—per unit, per pound, per gallon, or as a percentage of value (ad valorem).
Rules for appraising value and calculating duties based on actual purchase price and place of import.
Examples of items listed in the tariff, showing the range of goods covered and how rates could vary.
Procedures related to entry, valuation, and enforcement under the 1828 statute.

Ideal for readers of economic history, law enthusiasts, and researchers exploring early U.S. trade policy.
