Notice respecting Bills of Lading for Goods exported to Neutral Countries in Europe.

Office of the Minister of Customs, Wellington, 30th November, 1939.

THE appended notice issued by the Ministry of Economic Warfare to traders in the United Kingdom regarding goods shipped from overseas countries to neutral countries in Europe consigned to order is published for general information.

W. NASH, Minister of Customs.

NOTICE TO TRADERS REGARDING GOODS SHIPPED TO NEUTRAL COUNTRIES IN EUROPE.

THE Ministry of Economic Warfare desires to give notice that all goods covered by the Contraband List which are shipped on or after 20th November, 1939, to neutral countries in Europe consigned “to order” or to forwarding agents without specifying the names of buyers will be liable to seizure by the Contraband Committee.

This does not of course affect the existing arrangements under which bills of lading made out “to order” to a bank or accepting house and bearing the inscription “notify buyer, Messrs....” will be regarded as equivalent to a bill made out to a named consignee. It will be appreciated that this arrangement is based on the assumption that the person to be notified would not be a forwarding agent.
