2. To pay for and dispose of all goods already in New Zealand at the time when such enemy is so declared an enemy, whether such goods are held on consignment for sale or otherwise.

3. With the consent of the Comptroller of Customs, but not otherwise, to import, pay for, and dispose of any other goods, if those goods are imported in pursuance of a contract for the purchase thereof entered into between the importer and such enemy before he was declared an enemy.

4. To pay to such enemy all moneys owing to him before he was declared an enemy.
