In order to give an approximate idea of the present state of our
country in this respect as compared with certain other countries, some
guiding data are presented in Table 136 above. From these figures it
will be seen that the customs revenue in Sweden, in proportion to the
population, is at present pretty high, although lower than that in Norway,
Denmark, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, France, and the United
States. In proportion to the total value of imports, the customs duties of
Sweden are considerably lower than those of Italy, Russia, Spain, and the
United States, and only inconsiderably higher than those of Norway,
Germany and France.
Even if a full presentation of this subject would require an
investi-tigation on the proportion, in each case, between the imports and the home
production, still the above is sufficient to show that the present Swedish
Customs tariff is not, as a whole, among those of a very decided
protectionists character.
How the conditions in our country have varied in this respect
during different times, will be seen from the following figures:
