Duty to be levied on "Yerba Maté" or "Paraguay Tea."

PLUNKET, Governor.

WHEREAS a certain article of merchandise known as "Yerba Maté" or "Paraguay tea" is imported into New Zealand, which is apparently a substitute for tea, the latter being a dutiable article under "The Customs Duties Amendment Act, 1900";

And whereas "Yerba Maté" or "Paraguay tea" has properties which enable it to be used for a similar purpose as tea;

Now, therefore, I, William Lee, Baron Plunket, the Governor of the Colony of New Zealand, in pursuance and exercise of the powers and authority conferred upon me by section seventeen of "The Customs and Excise Duties Act, 1888," do hereby direct that there shall be levied on "Yerba Maté" or "Paraguay tea" a duty of twopence the pound, such duty being equal to the duty on tea.

As witness the hand of His Excellency the Governor, this twenty-eighth day of September, one thousand nine hundred and six.
