(a) With regard to tobacco produced in the British Dominions,
licenses allowing importation to the United Kingdom will
not be issued unless a certificate is produced similar to that
required for fruit. In the case of tobacco, this certificate
should be forwarded as promptly as possible to the con-
signee, to enable him to submit proof to the Licensing Com-
mittee that the particular consignment has in fact originated
in the British Dominions, or has been manufactured in such
Dominions from imported leaf.

(b) With regard to the exemption from the prohibition of
fruits, vegetables, or pickles which are the produce of the
British Dominions, exporters are informed, that every invoice
for such goods (being New Zealand produce exported to the
United Kingdom) must show the marks and numbers of the
packages, and must bear a certificate in the following form
signed by and bearing the official stamp of a Collector of
Customs:—

This is to certify that the fruit [or vegetables, or
pickles] specified in this invoice is [are] the produce of
New Zealand.
Date: ........................
Collector of Customs.

Official stamp. Port of

The packages containing such goods should also be branded
“Produce of New Zealand” or “Made in New Zealand.”

(c) The Board of Trade, London, state that licenses will be
granted for commercial motor vehicles where the goods were
en route for the United Kingdom or paid for at the date of
the Proclamation (27th June, 1916), or where importation is
desirable in the national interests; and for spare parts of
imported commercial vehicles already in the United Kingdom.
(d) Licenses for yeast will be granted up to about half the
amount imported during 1915. Licenses for vacuum cleaners
will be granted only if the goods were en route or paid for at
the date of the Proclamation (27th June, 1916).
(e) Special licenses will be issued by the Board of Trade,
London, for the importation of specific quantities, as occasion
requires, of hops which are the produce of the British Do-
minions. On issue of a license the exporter should forward
to the consignee an invoice for such hops bearing a certificate
in similar form to that required for fruit.
