A Lottery, the prizes of which will consist of exhibits only, will be connected with the exhibition and offer every exhibiter an opportunity to effect a sale.
The necessary steps have been taken to ensure duty-free import for exhibition-objects, and duty- free export for objects which remain unsold. As to an abatement in price of freight in Germany for exhibition goods, proper measures shall be taken.
