BOX TIMBER DUTIES
AN ALLEGED ANOMALY. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Auckland, June 7. In a letter to the Auckland Manufacturers’ Association Messrs. Ellis and Burnand stated that wooden box-mak-ing material imported into the Dominion was liable to a duty of 4s per hundred feet, as dressed timber. The general impression was that New Zealand timber was protected to that extent, but in fact a drawback of the duty was allowed when the boxes or crates were filled with butter or cheese and exported from the Dominion. The letter was referred to the tariff committee, with power to write to the Comptroller of Customs.
