IMPORT LICENSES
APPLICATIONS CONSIDERED ANNOUNCEMENT BY BOARD (United Press Assn.—Elec. Tel. Copyrlynt) LONDON, Nov. 2 The Import Licensing Department of the Board of Trade announces that it is prepared to consider applications for import licenses for goods imported under bond for reexport, whether they are further processed in this country or not, and goods on which duty is paid and subsequently recovered on re-exporta-tion. The Ministry of Economic Warfare is prepared to regard a bill of lading made to the order of a bank or accepting house, and bearing the inscription, “Notify buyers, Messrs etc.,” as equivalent to a bill made out to a named consignee. The use of this form will remove from consignments covered the almost certain presumption of ultimate enemy destination at present attaching to goods consigned simply to order, when sent to a country from which they might reach the enemy. Whatever form of bill is used, however, no goods will be exempt from seizure if there is suspicion of ultimate enemy destination.
