NATURE OF IMPORTS FROM THE UNITED STATES
Imports of electrical equipment from the United States increased
in value from $556,798 in 1926 to $687,976 in 1928, a gain of 23 per
cent, owing to the increased demand for American flash lights and
batteries, which amounted to $331,243, or 48 per cent of the total.
During the last few years, the United States has supplied very
little power-plant equipment to this territory, the American exports
being small quantities of almost all classes of electrical equipment.
As previously mentioned, the United States supplies most of the
trade in storage batteries and other electrical automotive equipment,
therapeutic and X-ray equipment, electric tools, and motor-driven
electric household appliances.

IMPORT DUTIES

The Netherland East Indies tariff law does not discriminate against
or show preferential treatment to any country, goods from all countries
 of origin paying the same import duties. The tariff of import
duties in the Netherland East Indies is for revenue only and does
not strive at protection of local industries.
