CUSTOMS DUTIES
ANOMALIES ADJUSTED COTTON YARNS AND HEARING AID PARTS PA WELLINGTON, Mar. 25. Several minor anomalies in Customs duties are abolished by a Customs primage exemption order and a surtax order gazetted to-night. As a result of the Geneva Trade Agreement, sewing cottons have been exempted from primage duty but imported cotton yarns from which sewing cottons are made in New Zealand have remained subject to primage. To-night’s orders exempt cotton yarns from primage and also from surtax under the general tariff. Another change affects materials imported for use in artificial limbs and hearing aids. When these articles are imported in a finished state they are exempt from ail Customs duties but some materials used in manufacturing them in New Zealand have until now been subject to primage. In future such materials may be imported free of all duty.
