Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a comprehensive collection of cases that highlight the many abuses of power and inefficiencies within England's Board of Customs in the mid-19th century. The information was compiled by a group of London merchants who sought parliamentary reform of the governing body that managed the collection of import and export tariffs. It includes summaries of evidence gathered by the group from merchants and Board of Customs officials like Sir Thomas Freemantle. The text also outlines the broader history of the Customs Board and discusses the economic theories behind ad valorem duties, which were based on the value of imported goods. The in-depth research and insights provided in this book were instrumental in reforming the Board of Customs and its practices. It remains a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of British economic policy and the complexities of international trade regulation.
