Port of Philadelphia Records: Registers of Duties Paid on Imported Goods, 1781-1787

About This Collection

Recorded at the port of Philadelphia, an entry usually gives the name of the vessel's master, the port of origin, the value of the goods imported, the name of the importer, and the duty paid. A brief description of the cargo also appears in most cases. Images are arranged chronologically by import date. This collection is part of the Office of the Comptroller General which was created in 1782.
