THE NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE.

[No. 91

(3) If the Minister is satisfied with respect to any company incorporated in New Zealand that any enemy trader, or any alien company, or any alien enemy possesses or exercises any substantial interest or control in or over that company, the Minister may, by notice in the Gazette, declare such first-mentioned company to be an enemy trader for the purposes of these regulations.

(4) Any such declaration as aforesaid may at any time in like manner be revoked by the Minister.

(5) So long as any such declaration remains unrevoked no person shall trade with the person, firm, or company so declared to be an enemy trader :

Provided that, for the purposes of this clause, to “trade with a person, firm, or company” means to do any act which would be an offence against Regulation 2 hereof if that person, firm, or company was resident or carrying on business in an enemy country.

(6) So long as any such declaration remains unrevoked no person shall act as an agent or servant or otherwise on behalf of any person, firm, or company so declared to be an enemy trader, or be or act as a partner of any such person or in any such firm.

REGULATION 4.—PROHIBITION OF EXPORTS.

(1) In this regulation “Collector of Customs,” “Officer of Customs,” and “goods” have the same meaning as those terms in the Customs Act, 1913.

(2) If the Minister of Customs has reason to suspect that the consignee of any goods shipped or about to be shipped for exportation to any place not being within His Majesty’s Dominions or mandated territories, or that any person for whom such goods are destined, whether immediately or ultimately, is an enemy trader or a person engaged in any business undertaking or communications injurious to the interests of His Majesty in respect of the war, he may prohibit the exportation of those goods.

(3) No Collector of Customs or Officer of Customs shall permit to be laden on board any exporting ship any goods the exportation of which is prohibited under this regulation.

(4) A Collector of Customs may decline to grant a certificate of clearance for any ship until he is satisfied that no goods are laden therein in breach of these regulations.

(5) Clauses (3) and (4) of this regulation shall not apply to goods which the Collector of Customs is satisfied were laden prior to the coming into force of these regulations upon the exporting ship for export from New Zealand.

(6) The master of a ship shall not permit to be laden in that ship any goods the exportation of which is prohibited under these regulations.

(7) This regulation shall not be deemed in any way to affect any prohibition or restriction on the exportation or the importation of goods which may at present or hereafter be in force under any other provision of law.

As the Gazette has been published for more than 185 years, copyright status depends on the publication date of each issue:

1840–1925 (Public Domain): Issues of the New Zealand Gazette and Provincial Gazettes from this period are in the public domain, as the term of Crown copyright (100 years) has expired. Mechanical reproductions (e.g., scanned PDFs) of these public domain documents do not attract new copyright.
1926–1999 (Crown Copyright): Issues from this period remain subject to Crown copyright. Usage of these issues in this project is "Fair Dealing" for research purposes and consistent with the spirit of the open-access principles championed by NZGOAL, ie, "The default licensing position under ...
