THE .FORTHCOMING INTERNATIONAL

EXHIBITION.

The following regulations for the guidance of
the officers of her Majesty's Customs in London and
at the outports, and for the information of impor-
ters and their agents, upon the importation of
goods intended for the International Exhibition
of Works of Industry and Art, to be held in London
in 1862, have been issued :-
1. All packages containing goods intended for the
International Exhibition of 1862 shall be specially
reported as such, and shall be addressed to the
Commissioners of the International Exhibition, or
to one of their officers, and be consigned to a duly
accredited agent, and shall be accompanied with a
specification of their contents and value. They
shall be separately entered as intended for the In ter-
national Exhibition, and the agents in passing their
entries shall specify the full contents of the packaged
together with the value.
2. Such packages as may be landed in London.
shall be forwarded unopened to the Exhibition in.
charge of an approved licensed carman, accompa-
nied by a cart note from the landing officer, giving
a description of the packages and the marks and_
numbers thereon ; and in cases where there may be•
reason to suppose they contain other goods than
those for the Exhibition they shall also be accom-
panied by a revenue officer.
3. Packages landed at the out-ports shall be for-
warded with a similar note by railway or other
public conveyance, under seals of office, direct to
the exhibition, the officers at the respective porta
taking care that the packages bear no private
address, and that the documents relating thereto be
immediately forwarded to the proper officers of her
Majesty's Customs stationed at the Exhibition.
4, On the arrival of the goods at the Exhibition
no package shall be opened without the knowledge
and consent of the officers of Customs, and if the
goods be found to agree with the entry or specifi-
cation, they will, if free, be at once considered as
out of charge of the Customs, the entry or declara-
tion being deemed sufficient for all statistical pur-
poses.
5. In the case of all dutiable goods, an account
will be taken by the officers of the crown at the
time of the first opening of the packages, but such
deficiencies as may occur within the building from
any legitimate or unavoidable cause, the officers
being fully satisfied thereof, shall not be charged.
with duty.
6. That the building be considered for all practi-
cal purposes, a " bonded warehouse," and that in all
cases where dutiable goods shall not be exported
but retained for use in this country, the duty shall
be assessed by the officer in charge at the building
(and received in the Exhibition by a clery duly
appointed for the purpose), in accordance with the
practice now existing in regard to articles found in
" passengers' baggage."
7. In the case of dutiable goods for exportation,
an entry shall be passed in the long room and bond
given for their due exportation, and :on the receipt
of this entry by the officer in charge of the build-
ing, the goods shall be packed in his presence, and
if for shipment at an out-port, placed under seal,
and forwarded in charge to a railway or other pub-
he company ; but if for shipment at this port, they
shall then be sent in charge of Customs officers at
the expense of the exporter, to be delivered into the
charge of the searcher of the station from which
they are to be shipped, without further examina-
tion, under the regulations applicable to goods
shipped direct from the warehouse.
