Gold, silver, jewellery, &c., are liable to Customs duty.
Advertising matter (catalogues, price-lists, &c.) is liable to Customs duty at the rate of 25 per cent. ad valorem, or 2d. per lb., whichever is the greater; but duty is not levied on any packet not exceeding 8 oz. in weight, provided the contents do not relate to South African firms. The Transvaal authorities have arranged for the Customs duty leviable on packets of advertising matter to be paid by the senders, who for this purpose should weigh the packets before posting, assess the duty thereon, and remit the amount to the Postmaster-General at Johannesburg, with a certified statement of catalogues posted. The covers of the articles should be stamped with the name and address of the senders and a statement that the duty has been sent to the Postmaster-General concerned. This inscription may appear on the addressed side of the cover, provided it is confined to the left-hand half | Transvaal. |
