100 REPORT ON COOPERATION IN AMERICAN EXPORT TRADE.

Tariff drawbacks.—The German Government has used its tariff
neasures for the encouragement of export trade by allowing duty
free importation of raw materials to be used in the manufacture of
export goods; and by allowing in exceptional cases where it may be
expected to benefit the German industry involved, duty free importation
 of manufactured articles made from German materials and exported
 to be finished or improved abroad. The remission of the
duties on such imports is made upon the submission of satisfactory
proof of identity.
