Abstract/Summary
This paper studies the adequacy of the tariff, as an alternative instrument to controls, in protecting the local integrated textile manufacturing industry from foreign competition. The tariff failed to give adequate protection to the industry due to the : 1. Improper implementation of the various executive orders by the Bureau of Customs as a result of administrative inefficiency and lack of integrity of its personnel 2. Inability of the government to stop, or at least reduce, the technical smuggling of textiles thru undervaluation, misdeclaration and over shipment 3. The system of tax-free imports of textiles under Republic Act 3137 and Sections 2001-2004 of the Code by embroidery and apparel firms and 4. The failure of the Tariff Commission to recommend that the duty on used clothing and rags and remnants should be on the same level as the duty on piece goods and garments. It is therefore recommended that : 1. The system of tax-free imports of textiles be abolished 2. The duty on remnants, used clothing and rags be raised to the same level as the duty on piece goods and garments, or the entire Chapter 63 be abolished 3. The President should be given standby authority to ban used clothing and rags and remnants and 4. Complete overhaul of the Bureau of Customs.
