Abstract: The impacts are examined of import charges and fuel costs on the relative costs of supplying US markets from Florida and Brazil and of supplying imported FCOJ via Florida and non-Florida ports. There are two import charges, the US Tariff and the Florida Equalization Tax. The former is found to provide considerable protection against imports, while the latter's main effect is to place Florida importers at a marked disadvantage to those in other areas of the country. Fuel cost variations have very modest effects.
