The total amount ol the import duties collected in 1918 was 44 - 1 millions of kroner ; for the year ending June 30, 1920, 1311 millions of kroner. The value of imports subject to duty (1918) was 442,817,400 kroner and of duty-free 809,746,500 kroner.
Under t.he treaty of 1S26 there is the 'most-favoured-nation' treatment between the United Kingdom and Norway.
The recorded values arc calculated according to information supplied by Exchange Committees and merchants. Those of imports include the invoice price, freight, packing, and insurance, but not duty ; those of exports give the price free on board in Norwegian port, excluding freight and insurance, but including packing and Norwegian commercial profit. The returns of quantities are compiled from the officially controlled declarations of importers and exporters. These declarations stated prior to 1909 the countries from which the articles were directly Imported and to which they were directly exported. An article coming, for example, from the East Indies via London was recorded as coming from England. From January 1, 1909, the declarations state the countries from which the articles are bought and to which they are sold. The recorded import* include all articles imported, whether for consumption inland or for re-exportation, but not the direct transit goods. The exports are divided into exports of Norwegian articles (special trade) and exports of foreign articles.
