Notice respecting Bills of Lading.

Office of the Minister of Customs,
Wellington, 19th October, 1915.

THE appended public announcement (issued by the Board of Trade on behalf of His Majesty’s Government) as to the manner in which bills of lading should be made out during the war is published for general information.

A. M. MYERS,
Minister of Customs.

BOARD OF TRADE ANNOUNCEMENT.

Notice respecting Bills of Lading.

THE Board of Trade have received numerous inquiries with regard to the manner in which bills of lading should be made out during the war in order to minimize risk of delay if vessels are boarded or diverted at sea by officers of His Majesty’s Navy.

It should be clearly understood that no form of consignment will secure to vessels immunity from the belligerent right to visit, search, and detention, whatever the country or port from which they may have shipped the goods they are carrying and whatever the description of those goods. Compliance with the following recommendations in respect of bills of lading will, however, minimize the risk of delay, and will therefore be in the interest both of the ship and of the goods.

(1.) Shipments to Neutral European Ports or Russian Ports in the Baltic, or by Vessels calling at a Neutral European Port.—In the case of goods shipped to a neutral European port or to a Russian port in the Baltic, or shipped by a vessel which is to call at a neutral European port, it is recommended that bills of lading should never be made out “to order,” but that they should be made out either (a) to a named consignee or (b) to a bank or financial house of high standing with the remark “Notify A. B.,” A. B. being the name of the person or firm for whom the goods are ultimately destined. Goods shipped to Holland should be consigned to Netherlands Oversea Trust.

(2.) Shipments to British, French, or Italian Ports, or Russian Ports not in the Baltic.—It is not necessary that goods shipped to a British, French, or Italian port, or to a Russian port not in the Baltic, should be consigned as above described, provided that it is clearly indicated in the bill of lading and in the manifest that the ultimate destination is as stated, and provided that the vessel is not to call at a neutral European port on her voyage.

(3.) Shipments to Neutral Countries outside Europe.—It is desirable, in cases where the use of another form of consignment might lead to an interruption of the voyage, that goods shipped to neutral countries outside Europe should be consigned in the same manner as those shipped to neutral countries in Europe; but where this course is not adopted, it should be clearly indicated in the bill of lading that the destination of the goods is outside Europe, and is not in Asiatic Turkey, nor in nor adjacent to any enemy possession.

(4.) In all cases it is essential that the bill of lading, or a certified copy of it, should be on board the vessel.

Board of Trade, 19th August, 1915.
