Present :
THE HONOURABLE SIR JAMES ALLEN, K.C.B., PRESIDING
IN COUNCIL.
WHEREAS by section forty-six of the Customs Act
1913, as extended by section two of the Regulation
of Trade and Commerce Amendment Act, 1915, it is enacted
that the Governor may by Order in Council prohibit the
importation into New Zealand of any goods the prohibition
of the importation of which is in his opinion necessary in the
public interest: And whereas by Order in Council dated the
twenty-sixth day of September, one thousand nine hundred and
sixteen, His Excellency the Governor of the Dominion of
New Zealand, in pursuance and exercise of the powers con-
ferred on him as aforesaid, did prohibit to the extent appearing
in the said Order in Council the importation of goods manu-
factured or produced in or exported from enemy territory, as
therein defined: And whereas in the opinion of the Governor
it is necessary in the public interest that the said Order in
Council should be revoked, and that other provision should
be made in lieu thereof:
Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor of the Do-
minion of New Zealand, in pursuance of the authority con-
ferred upon him by the Acts aforesaid, and acting by and
with the advice and consent of the Executive Council of that
Dominion, doth hereby revoke the hereinbefore-recited Order
in Council of the twenty-sixth day of September, one thou-
sand nine hundred and sixteen, and doth hereby prohibit
the importation into New Zealand, save with the consent of
the Minister of Customs, of any goods which, whether before
or after the commencement of the present war, have been
manufactured or produced in or exported from any place
which at the date of this Order in Council is enemy territory ;
and doth hereby declare that the term “enemy territory”
includes all territory in the military occupation of an enemy
State, but does not include territory in the military occupa-
tion of His Majesty; and doth hereby further declare that
goods shall be deemed to be manufactured or produced in
enemy territory if not less than five per centum of the fair
market value thereof as estimated in accordance with the
provisions of the Customs Act, 1913, with respect to goods
liable to ad valorem duty has its source in enemy territory.
J. F. ANDREWS,
Clerk of the Executive Council.
By Authority: MARCUS F. MARKS, Government Printer, Wellington.
