Report of the Indian Tariff Board on the Woodscrews Industry

1945

The location of the industry in the Punjab has however imposed a handicap in the supply of the raw material. [...] With a view to ensuring to the home manufacturer the measure of protection granted to him it is the usual practice of this Board to recommend an adjustment of duty in the event of a fall in the landed cost below a stated figure. [...] From the point of view of the consumer we 'think it undesirable to stabilise the price of woodscrews at 14 annas per inch gross which is the fair selling price of the home manufacturer. [...] It is possible that with a view to circumventing the recommendations that we have mn.de the importers may maintain the price of the 1" x 8 screw at 14 :tunas and manipulate the prices of other sizes of screws to the disadvantage of the indigenous manufacturers. [...] If during the period before 31st March 1948 the landed cost of imported woodscrews of the size of 1" x 8 inclusive of duty goes below 14 annas per inch gross a subsidy should be paid to the Indian manufacturers equal to the difference between the lowest landed cost in the preceding half year and the fair selling price namely 14 annas per inch gross.
