Customs Department,
Wellington, 16th February, 1925.

WITH reference to the notification published in the New Zealand Gazette on 2nd October, 1924, setting out the altered conditions under which imported goods are to be admitted under the British Preferential Tariff, it is hereby notified for public information that, owing to the fact that it has been necessary to enter into further negotiations with the Australian Government respecting a proposal which has been made by the Government of Canada that fifty per cent. should be adopted as the basis of preference and to the necessity of giving adequate notice of the final decision which may be arrived at, it has been decided to postpone, until 1st October, 1925, the date upon which the amended conditions to be decided upon shall take effect.

Those interested will therefore understand that until 30th September, 1925, goods will, in New Zealand, be admitted under the British Preferential Tariff under the conditions heretofore existing and set out in the Customs Regulations gazetted on 7th December, 1922.

Until 1st April, 1926, bar, bolt, rod, angle, tee, channel, girder, hoop, plate, or sheet iron or steel, and wire, and other goods, made wholly in Great Britain or other British possessions from any of the following kinds of iron or steel of foreign origin—viz., pigs, ingots, billets, and blooms—will be regarded as wholly manufactured in such British countries for the purposes of clause 5 (a) of the combined certificate of value and origin.

Until 1st April, 1926, paper made wholly in Great Britain or other British possessions from pulp of foreign origin will be regarded as wholly manufactured in such British countries for the purposes of clause 5 (a) of the combined certificate of value and origin.

This means (a) that paper made wholly in Great Britain or other British possessions from wood pulp of foreign origin, and (b) that bar, bolt, rod, angle, tee, channel, girder, hoop, plate, or sheet iron or steel, and wire, and other goods, made wholly in Great Britain or other British possessions from any of the following kinds of iron or steel of foreign origin—viz., pigs, ingots, billets, and blooms—will, if the other conditions are complied with, be entitled until 31st March, 1926, to be entered for duty on importation into New Zealand under the British Preferential Tariff, irrespective of the percentage of the factory or works cost which is represented by expenditure in British material and/or labour.

The notifications gazetted on 20th November and 11th December, 1924, respecting paper and certain classes of iron respectively are hereby revoked, and the three preceding paragraphs hereof are substituted therefor.
