Customs revenuesup $899 million

Through June of this fiscal year, the U.S. Customs Servicehad collected $7.5 billion in duties on imported merchandise.This was an increase of 13.6 percent (+ $899 million) overfiscal year 1981.

Customs also reported that the latest monthly collectionsfor June 1982 fell below year-earlier levels for the first timethis year. June revenues totaled $866.4 million, 2.1 percentbelow June 1981 levels. The decline is this year’s first indica-tion that the U.S. economic recession is adversely affectingthis country’s demand for imports.

This year’s gain is largely attributable to increased imports(and hence duties levied and collected) in a few key com-modities. Greater entries of clothing, steel products, motorvehicles, toys and footwear have accounted for most of thisyear’s gain in collections. Also, the reimposition of Customsduties on petroleum, which were suspended for part of lastyear, contributed to the gain.

The largest revenue increases this year have been recordedin the New York Customs Region (+ $229 million from lastyear, totalling $2.01 billion for the year to date), in theHouston Region (+ $180 million, totalling $687 million thisyear) and in the Los Angeles Region (+$156 million,reaching $1.18 billion in FY 82).

West Mrica,1947.Thirty-three years ago, when Delta Line pioneered

regular U.S. Flag service from the Gulf to West Africa,there were few developed harbors along the entire3,000-mile coastline from Dakar to Matadi.

Each voyage was an adventure. Our ships wouldsail along the coast and anchor just beyond the surf.Cargoes were loaded onto small boats powered bymen and oars. It was a demanding test of skill andseamanship, an experience not soon forgotten by thecrews of those Delta ships.

Delta helped establish trade with the nations ofWest Africa, and continues to play a vital role in theeconomic development of the region.

Today, we serve the modern ports of West Africawith five purpose-built vessels, that sail frequentlyfrom all major U.S. Gulf ports. These great shipsare backed by an experienced team at home, and anetwork of the best agents on the African continent.

And it’s the same wherever we go in the world-South America, Central America, the Caribbean. In50 countries, on three continents, Delta is committedto service, integrity and excellence.

Charles Mutz, a sophmore at Houston’s S.P. Waltrip Senior High School,shows off his model of the Port of Houston, a history project that won threeawards last school year for the 15-year-old. By winning various contests,he was invited to enter his project in state-wide competition. Using adiscarded table top, plaster, paint, wood scraps and old floor tile, Charlesbuilt the model at nights, after school and on weekends. The modeldepicts all areas of port operations, including grain elevators and major in-

dustries. The bridges and tunnels going over and under the Channel arealso shown, as well as major export and import commodities. Cutting andcarving wood scraps, he built models of various types of ships, including aPort Authority fire boat. The warning lights on the power poles even blink.His research for the project, he said, taught him the important role the Portof Houston plays in local and international commerce.
