Report on monitoring the impact of zero-rating the duty on books imported from the United States to Canada, 1977-1981 / prepared for the Zero-Rating Work Group and Arts and Culture Branch, Department of... : Co52-87/1982E-PDF

"Acting in response to representations of industry groups and labour, the governments of the United States and Canada removed existing barriers to the free trade in books between both countries. The United States had in place the "US Manufacturing Clause" which restricted access of Canadian printing firms to the US market, and Canada applied an import duty of ten percent on certain classes of English-language books imported from the US. The US Manufacturing Clause regarding Canada was removed on January 1, 1978, and Canada reduced the import duty to zero ("zero-rating") on January 30, 1979. Both these steps to liberalize the book trade will be re-assessed by the respective governments in 1982. In Canada, a joint industry-government Work Group was established to monitor the impact of removing the duty on books imported from the US on the book publishing industry for the period from 1977 to 1980. This report presents findings of the zero-rating monitoring project"--Background, page [i].
