and materials under application. A numbered receipt will be issued for each sample accepted which will thenceforward be identified by that number. Samples will be returned to applicants after the end of the shipping period upon production of the relevant receipts.
Applications containing inadequate or misleading descriptions will be rejected.
Allocation of yardage
9.
Immediately after the closing date, the Department will examine all applications received and will decide on the scale of allocations, giving preference to those with the highest Hong Kong cost content per square yard. Cut-off levels established by virtue of the agreed categorization arrangements will be applied to all specific categories. This will mean that the cut-off levels for approval in specific categories may vary.
10. If export authorization applications for printed piecegoods at any stage exceed the yardage available but applications for finished piecegoods (other than printed) fall short, valid applications for printed piecegoods will be approved up to the amount of the shortfall for finished piecegoods (other than printed), and vice versa.
11. A Notice to Exporters will be published giving details of yardage allocations by categories and the cut-off levels immediately after the allo- cations are made.
Conditions of shipment
12.
Each export authorization will be valid for one month and 95% of the approved quantity must be shipped within that period. Failure to comply may result in administrative penalties.
13. All consignments to be shipped against these authorizations must be routed through the Department's Kowloon Inspection Control in Godown No.12A of the Hong Kong and Kowloon Wharf and Godown Company premises for inspection before export.
14. The Department will bear the cost of the examination service but shippers will be required to pay the normal commercial storage and handling charges to the godown company. Each shipper will be permitted to send two workmen with each consignment to open and repack cases selected for exam- ination.
15. Applications for export licences in respect of these consignments, together with the relevant export authorizations and commercial invoices, should be presented at the Control at the time the goods are submitted for inspection. The Control will issue receipts against these applications. Applicants should present these receipts to the Department's Textiles Licensing Office when collecting the export licences. The invoices will be returned to the shipper immediately after examination by the Control officers.
