Consolidation of customs charges in countries where this principle has not been put into effect was recommended yesterday at the first meeting of the customs group general committee of the Pan-American Commission on Cus- toms Procedure and Port Formalities, which opened here. ‘The group is seeking greater stand- ardization and simplification in the variety of units upon which customs duties are levied in the various Ameri- can republics. Proposal Adopted. ‘The committee adopted a proposal that the emolumen® of customs officials should be paid by the government con- cerned and not by the shipper, carrier or consignee. Complaint was made that an adequate number of customs officers are not employed regularly at the rons of some countries to handle expeditious- l{‘ the normal flow of commerce at those ports. Parttime Deputies. As a consequence, the conference was informed, carriers, steamship companies and consignees are asked from time to time to pay the salaries of deputy in- spectors and part-time employes to pre- | vent delay in clearance. A proposal to permit administrative authorities to promulgate regulations covering the assessment of duties on mixed packages was favored, with the recommendation that different articles in a package should pay the rate of duty attached to each article.
