Board of Trade Notice No. 95—Public Inquiry into Import Duties on Certain Slipper Cloths

  1. Felt and Textiles of New Zealand Limited, Wellington, has requested the Government to make the following decisions:

(i) That the Ministerial decision whereby the manufacture of slippers is an approved purpose under Tariff Item 156 be revoked.

Tariff Item 156 reads—

‘‘Felted textiles, in the piece, on declaration that they will be used only for such manufacturing and industrial purposes as may be approved by the Minister.’’

(ii) That the following Ministerial decision under the A. & M.S. provisions of Tariff Item 448 (3) relating to boots and other footwear be amended as shown hereunder:

The decision reads—

‘‘The following materials declared by a manufacturer for use by him only in making footwear—‘Fabrics (including felt fabrics and those made from paper yarn, but not including quilted fabrics)—‘‘(a) Rubberized, or treated with rubber substitutes; or ‘‘(b) Consisting of woven material, or laces, or embroideries, fixed to a backing of textile.’’

The amendment proposed is that the following words should be added to the end of this decision:‘not including double woven fabrics of wool or composed of wool in combination with any other staple fibre, or single woven fabrics of similar composition combined by any means with felt or any other fabric and imported for use in the manufacture of slippers.’’

  1. If the above two requests were granted the effect would be that the slipper cloth in question would be classified under Tariff Item 183 (2) (a).

The present rates of import duty in respect of these items are:

Tariff Item 156—British Preferential: 3%. General Tariff: 10%.*

Tariff Item 183 (2) (a)—British Preferential: 20%. Australian Agreement: 30%. Most Favoured Nation: 40%. General Tariff: 45%.*

Tariff Item 448 (3)—British Preferential: 3%. General Tariff: 3%.* Plus surtax at the rate of nine-fortieths of the amount of duty.

  1. The Board of Trade proposes to hold a public inquiry to consider the above requests, commencing on Tuesday, 23 November 1954, at 10.30 a.m., in the Board Room, First Floor, Departmental Building, Stout Street, Wellington.

  2. Any person who intends to tender evidence at this inquiry should comply with the notes for the guidance of witnesses (2nd edition) which have been approved by the Board. A copy of these notes may be obtained from the office of any Collector of Customs or from the undernamed.

  3. A typewritten statement of the evidence to be tendered, compiled in accordance with these notes of guidance, should be lodged with the undernamed on or before Tuesday, 9 November 1954. Each statement will in general need to be presented under oath at the public inquiry by the person tendering it.

Dated at Wellington this 14th day of September 1954.

R. F. WILSON, Secretary, Board of Trade.

C.P.O. Box 2424, Wellington C. 1.
