Regulations under "The Patents, Designs, and Trade-marks Act, 1889."

Department of Trade and Customs,
Wellington, 31st December, 1889.

I, GEORGE FREDERICK RICHARDSON, the Minister acting for the Commissioner of Trade and Customs, do hereby make the following regulations under section 104 of "The Patents, Designs, and Trade-marks Act, 1889," that is to say,—

1. Goods prohibited to be imported for having applied to them forged trade-marks, false trade descriptions, or marks, names, or descriptions otherwise illegal, which upon examination are detected by the officers of Customs, are to be detained by them without the requirement of previous information.

2. In giving information with a view to detention an informant must fulfil the following conditions, namely:—
   (i.) He must give to the Collector of Customs of the port of expected importation notice in writing stating—
   The number of packages expected, as far as he is able to state the same;
   The description of the goods by marks or other particulars sufficient for their identification;
   The name or other sufficient indication of the importing ship;
   The manner in which the goods infringe the Act;
   The expected day of the arrival of the ship.
   (ii.) He must deposit with the Collector a sum sufficient, in the opinion of that officer, to cover any additional expense which may be incurred in the examination required by reason of his notice.

3. If upon arrival and examination of the goods the Collector is satisfied that there is no ground for their detention, they will be delivered. If he is not so satisfied, he will decide either to detain the goods, as in a case of detention upon ordinary examination, or to require security from the informant for reimbursing the Commissioner or his officers all expenses and damages incurred in respect of the detention made on his information and of any proceedings consequent thereon.

4. The security thus required must be an immediate ad valorem deposit of £10 per cent. on the value of the goods, irrespective of duty, as fixed by the Collector from the quantities or value shown by the entry; and also, subsequently, a bond, to be completed within four days, in double the value of the goods, with two approved sureties. The ad valorem deposit will be returned upon completion of the bond, and will not be required if, as an alternative where time permits, the informant prefers to give a like bond before examination, upon estimated value of the goods declared to by him under statutory declaration. If the security is not duly given as above required, there will be no further detention of the goods.
