Imposition of Depreciated-currency Duty.—Electric Motors.

Customs Department,
Wellington, 5th November, 1923.

IT is hereby notified, for public information, that the Minister of Customs has been requested to determine whether or not depreciated-currency duty should be imposed on the following class or kind of goods, when imported from countries having depreciated curriences—viz., electric motors—which are not at present subject to depreciated-currency duty.

Before deciding the matter, the Minister hereby invites any person who considers that the importation of such goods without such duty being charged thereon does prejudicially or injuriously affect his industry or business, or who is aggrieved on account of such duty not being charged on such goods, to make a complaint in the prescribed form.

The Minister also invites any person who considers that the imposition of depreciated-currency duty on such goods would prejudicially or injuriously affect his industry or business or who would be aggrieved by the imposition of such duty to state in the prescribed form any reasons he may desire to offer why such duty should not be imposed.

Such complaint or statement will be regarded as strictly confidential. It must reach this office not later than one month from the date of the publication of this notification in the New Zealand Gazette.

Any complaint or statement already received in connection with the class or kind of goods referred to above will receive full consideration before the matter is decided.
