Provided, that there shall be excluded from the benefits of the
suspension hereby declared and proclaimed, the vessels of any foreign
country in whose ports the fees or dues of any kind or nature imposed on
vessels of the United States, or the import or export duties on their
cargoes, are in excess of the fees, dues, or duties imposed on the
vessels of such country or on the cargoes of such vessels; but this
proviso shall not be held to be inconsistent with the special regulation
by foreign countries of duties and other charges on their own vessels,
and the cargoes thereof, engaged in their coasting trade, or with the
existence between such countries and other States of reciprocal
stipulations founded on special conditions and equivalents, and thus not
within the treatment of American vessels under the most favored nation
clause in treaties between the United States and such countries.
And the suspension hereby declared and proclaimed shall continue so long
as the reciprocal exemption of vessels belonging to citizens of the
United States and their cargoes, shall be continued in the said port of
Copenhagen and no longer.
