Repealed by the House but did not change the foreign shipper law against multiple domestic ports of call and pickup.

True, the cabotage laws remained. But you said the law required foreign ships carrying southern exports pay compensation and that requirement was revoked in 1830. The millions of bales of cotton leaving southern ports bound for Europe could go on U.S. ships or foreign ships without the tonnage penalty the U.S. charged before.

Only if foreign ships arrived with empty holes. Some tried ( see cobblestone streets in Charleston) but did not last long.
