IMPORT LICENSING
AN ENGLISH FIRM'S PROBLEM Difficulties arising out of the New Zealand import licensing system are mentioned in a letter received by an Auckland company from a firm in Northampton. Speical reference is made to fourth period licences. " It will not be possible to complete all the orders we have on hand so that the goods arrive before the end of 1940," says the letter. "You will realise that it is not always certain to get goods on board the steamers that load, even though they are sent many days in advance of the closing date. "We do not know when the boats sail, or are likely to sail, nor the time of arrival, so that it is impossible for us to estimate when the shiDments can arrive. Most of the goods you order are made specially, and if there is a delay on the railway or at the docks we cannot be expected to put these into stock because the fourth period licence has expired."
