  1. Bona fide commercial travellers representing houses conducting an exclusively wholesale business who take out samples for exhibition only and goods for sale may be charged the commercial travellers' sample rate on the bona fide samples and the ordinary rate (goods, parcel, or excess, as the case may be) on the goods for sale.

(a) The consignment-note (in the case of packages consigned through goods or parcels) must be endorsed by the traveller as follows :-

I hereby certify that this consignment consists of [Weight] bona fide commercial samples, which are not for sale, and [Weight] of goods for sale.

(b) In the case of excess luggage a certificate in writing in the foregoing terms and signed by the traveller should be tendered with the packages.

  1. Commercial travellers will be allowed eighteen hours' free storage for their samples or bona fide personal luggage conditionally on the Department not being liable in any circumstances whatever for any loss or damage in respect of the same.

The provisions of this paragraph will apply only to luggage and/or bona fide samples which--

(a) Have been transported by the Department, in which case the period of free storage will be counted from the time of arrival of luggage and/or samples at the station concerned ; or

(b) Have been delivered to the Department for transport by the Department, in which case the period of free storage will be counted from the time of such delivery :

Provided that in no case shall the period of free storage exceed eighteen hours continuously, notwithstanding that any such luggage and/or samples may have been transported by the Department and may be intended to be further transported by the Department without removal from the premises of the railway.

If any luggage or samples to which this paragraph applies are left on the premises of the railway for a longer period than eighteen hours the ordinary cloak-room charges will apply for the time in excess of eighteen hours. Sunday will, for the purpose of calculating the period of the eighteen hours' free storage, be treated as dies non.

  1. SAMPLE BICYCLES.--Commercial travellers representing recognized bicycle agencies established in New Zealand will be allowed to carry with them as commercial travellers' luggage two sample bicycles (other than motor-bicycles), packed in cases or crates. All sample bicycles in excess of this number will be charged at the parcel rates for bicycles.
