1 For the specified wares the amount of the import duties is only calculated. — 2 When
the amounts given for the specified wares are only calculated, but the final total is the
actual amount received, the figures for "other wares" must be to some extent incorrect.
In Table 110 is given a survey of those wares which, up to and including
the year 1911, have produced the greatest revenue from import duties.
Table 111 shows the revenue from customs duties at the most important
customhouses. It may be pointed out with what comparative success Stockholm has
been able to retain its place in the matter of the import trade, which was hardly
to be expected in consideration of the circumstance that the Norrland towns have
begun more and more to import their necessaries direct from foreign countries,
instead of relying on the Stockholm merchants, as a result of which several new
custom-houses have been established. Yet an inconsiderable decline is to be
observed as a result of the circumstances indicated. Between the years 1861
—65, Stockholm collected 37’0 % of the total import duties of the country, as
Table 111. Customs Receipts, annual averages. In thousands of kronor.
