In "Conventional Rates fixed by Treaties," "F" stands for the Japanese Treaty with France, "G" for that with Germany, "A" for that with Austria-Hungary, and the "U.K." for that with the United Kingdom. These are marked thus in Tariffs, and given in brackets [ ]. 2. The specific rates of duty stated under the "Conventional" Rates in brackets [], are those fixed by Supplementary Convention between the U.K. and Japan as the equivalents of various ad val. rates, established by the Treaty of the 16th July, 1894. The corresponding ad val. rate is mentioned for purposes of reference. 3. The specific rate is fixed by the U.K. Treaty alone. If, on the conversion of ad val. to specific rates under the German and French Treaties, any reductions are made on the specific rates stated, imports into Japan from the U.K. will have the advantage of such reductions under the most-favoured-nation clause in our Treaty.
