SCHEDULE.

LETTERS AND LETTERCARDS: BULLION.

6. BULLION not exceeding in value £10 may be sent by registered letter-post to places within the Dominion, and also, subject to the provisions of any law prohibiting the exportation of gold, to such places outside the Dominion as receive gold by post. The Postmaster-General reserves the right to refuse to accept any postal packet containing bullion for despatch by any particular mail, or to despatch any such packet by any particular mail, on the ground that the mail may, by such acceptance or despatch, be exposed to the risk of violation, or on the ground that the acceptance or despatch of any such packet would be a breach of any of the provisions of this regulation. The total value of bullion which may be included in any one mail handled by the New Zealand Postal Service shall not exceed £10. Letters containing gold addressed to countries beyond New Zealand may be posted (if not prohibited as aforesaid) only at money-order offices, and senders must pay thereon the export duty of 2s. per ounce troy for gold mined in the North Island, and also a duty of 6d. per ounce troy for gold mined in any part of New Zealand other than gold produced by alluvial mining or dredge mining, in addition to the usual postage.

PARCEL-POST: JEWELLERY, ETC.

16. Parcels containing jewellery, watches, articles of manufactured gold or silver, and such like valuables should be insured and specially packed as instructed in Regulation 9, under the heading “Insurance of Parcels,” in the Schedule to the Order in Council dated the 26th December, 1907, and published at page 3615 of the New Zealand Gazette of the 31st December, 1907; and such parcels, if addressed to places within New Zealand, may be insured and registered if desired, but their insurance or registration is not compulsory unless the contents are over 10s. in value.
