Customs Has Corrected A

Deficiency In Administering

The Quota On Imported Tuna


One of Custom's responsibilities is to admin-
ister import quotas. Under a tariff-rate quota,
the duty rates change as the quantity of
imports varies. Customs has interpreted the
Tariff Schedules as requiring that tuna import-
ed from American Samoa be charged
against quota limits. However, from at least
1970 to 1978 Customs' Los Angeles Dis-
trict, through which all American Samoa
tuna enters the United States, did not do so.

In two of these years--1970 and 1972--
higher duties would have been triggered
because quotas were exceeded. The exact
amount of additional duties is indeter-
minable.
