ORDER IN COUNCIL.

At the Government House at Wellington, this 3rd day of September 1923.

Present:

HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL IN COUNCIL.

IN pursuance and exercise of the powers conferred upon him by the Customs Act, 1913, and by the Customs Amendment Act, 1921, and of all other powers and authorities enabling him in that behalf, His Excellency the Governor-General of the Dominion of New Zealand, acting by and with the advice and consent of the Executive Council of the said Dominion, doth hereby make the following regulations for the purposes of the said Acts.

REGULATIONS.

1. THESE regulations shall be deemed to be part of the Customs Regulations gazetted on the 2nd day of July, 1914.

DEPRECIATED CURRENCY DUTY.

2. In these regulations "depreciated currency duty" means the special duty imposed under section 13 of the Customs Amendment Act, 1921, as amended by section 18 of the Finance Act, 1921-22, and by section 7 of the Customs Amendment Act, 1922, and by section 2 of the Customs Amendment Act, 1923.

3. The complaint to be made by any person aggrieved by the importation of any goods of a class or kind on which depreciated currency duty is not imposed shall be in Form No. 1 in the Schedule hereto.

4. Any person who considers that the imposition of depreciated currency duty on any of the classes or kinds of goods mentioned in any list published in the Gazette in pursuance of section 18 of the Finance Act, 1921-22, is prejudicially or injuriously affecting his industry, or who is aggrieved by the imposition of such duty, may, in Form No. 2 in the Schedule hereto, state reasons why such duty should not be imposed.

5. Upon receipt of such complaint or statement the Minister, before determining whether or not the imposition of depreciated currency duty on any of the classes or kinds of goods referred to in such complaint or statement does or will prejudicially or injuriously affect any industry established in New Zealand or in any other part of the British dominions, may cause a notification to be published in the Gazette in Form No. 3 in the Schedule hereto.

6. Where application is received by the Minister to determine, before the importation of any goods, whether or not depreciated currency duty should be imposed on such goods if imported into New Zealand, the Minister may cause a notification to be published in the Gazette in Form No. 3 in the Schedule hereto.

7. Any person who considers that the imposition of depreciated currency duty on the classes or kinds of goods mentioned in any such notification does or would prejudicially or injuriously affect his industry or business, or who is or would be aggrieved by the imposition of such duty, may, in Form No. 2 in the Schedule hereto, state reasons why such duty should not be imposed.

8. Any person who considers that the importation of the classes or kinds of goods mentioned in any such notification without depreciated currency duty being charged thereon does or would prejudicially or injuriously affect his industry or business, or who is or would be aggrieved if depreciated currency duty were not charged on such goods, may make a complaint in Form No. 1 in the Schedule hereto.

REVOCATION.

9. Clause 13 of the Customs Regulations gazetted on the 7th day of December, 1922, and Form No. 6 in the Second Schedule thereto are hereby revoked.
