GOODS FOR CHINA.
MARKING OF PACKAGES
A Gazette notice states that advice has been received that the Government of China has issued a notification which provides that cargo imported into China from October 12, 1930, must be marked in such a way that the Customs authoiities may be able to identify each package by its marks and numbers alone. Each package must bear an individual number of a consecutive series and, in addition, a mark of distinctive design or a set of not less than three letters or a combination of a distinctive design and letters. Numbering of individual packages will not be insisted on (providing the marks are sufficiently distinctive) for tinned plates and other articles intended solely for the use of the importing firm and not intended for re-export to another open port. Cargo which does not comply with the requirements of the notification will have to be remarked under Customs supervision on payment of a fee of 16 dollars for four hours or part thereof.
