About this Item

Rare historical document detailing revised customs rules and higher tariffs for goods imported to Japan just prior to the maturing Pacific conflicts of WWII. In 1940 Japan abrogated the existing treaty of commerce with the U.S. in an attempt to create a Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere, issueing new tariffs to limit the import of U.S. and European goods. (Incredibly high rates documented. For example, 25-50% tariffs on sports equipment and toys). Tall 8vo. 278 pp. Index. English translation of official Japanese customs codes; followed by rate tables for goods in columnar format in Japanese and English. A rare survival; a Worldcat search indicates only one library copy worldwide. Ships fast with tracking.
