Among the customs duties, apart from the import duties, is
included a tax on shipping, called the loading and lighthouse
tax, which, with a few exceptions, is paid by vessels importing
goods to the country, and amounts to 80 øre for each ton
discharged. Vessels exporting goods from the country pay a tax
which amounts to 50 øre for each ton of goods loaded.

During the financial year 1897—1898, the import duties
amounted to kr. 29,713,790, the loading and lighthouse tax to
kr. 1,813,284, and the other receipts from customs duties to kr.
60,019. The total customs revenue thus amounted to kr. 31,587,092,
or a little more than ⅔ of the whole amount raised by taxation.
For the sake of comparison, it may be stated that the items of
the customs revenue were:

in the financial	years	1880 to 1885,	on an average	kr.	18,629,915
