About 95 percent of Portugal's exports of sardines to the United States consist of the boneless and boneless-skinless types which are packed chiefly as a specialty for the American market. These enter the United States at an ad-valorem duty of 30 percent. Norwegian canned brislings, on the other hand, pay I5 percent ad-valorem duty as the result of a reduction in the applicable rate under the GATT program. The competitive disadvantage at which the Portuguese products has been placed in the United States is of serious concern to local exporters. Ihe Canned Fish Institute, as a result of a visit of one of its directors to the United States in 1948 to study the market for sardines, has drawn up a plan promoting American sales and has collected approximately $100,000 from its members for this purpose. However,'nothing has yet beer_ done to implement this scheme pending a decision by the Government as to what form Portugal's projected over-all dollar ex- port promotion program should take. Exports of anchovies in I9/+9 reached one of the highest levels in recent years and mij^t have done much to compensate for the deficit in sardines if the competition amon^ Portuguese exjjorters had not depressed prices to unremunerative levels.
