CERTIFICATES OF ORIGIN.

(See the Regulations for execution of the Customs Duties Law, Imperial Ordinance No. 319, dated 29th June, 1899.)

Certain articles when imported from countries to which special conventions are applicable, are subject to a rate of duty different to that imposed under the general tariff. To secure the application of this different, and usually but not always, lower scale of duties, it is necessary for the importer to produce a certificate of the original place of produce or manufacture; such certificate must be made by the Japanese Consul or Commercial Agent at the locality of produce or manufacture, or shipment of the goods. If, however, there is neither a Japanese Consul nor Commercial Agent, a certificate made by the Custom House or any other Government or public office authorities or Chamber of Commerce of the locality will be accepted.

Postal matter and goods of which the dutiable amount does not exceed

Yen 100, are excepted.

In the certification mentioned in the preceding paragraph, there shall be stated the marks, numbers, nature, and quantity of the goods, number of packages, and the territory of produce or manufacture.

The attention of shippers abroad is specially directed to these requirements. It is absolutely necessary that the certificates of origin should reach the consignees before arrival of the vessel carrying the goods to which they refer.
