Masters of vessels under British colours desirous of moving their vessels to another Berth, or wishing to drop down the River, are required to apply for permission at the British Consulate, either in person or in writing.
Particular attention is directed to the Custom House Regulations, entered into between Mr Parkes and the Siamese Authorities. The following additional Rules have likewise been entered into by the undersigued, aud the Siamese Authorities :—
1. Every English merchant having Cargo to load or discharge, must give due intimation thereof to the Custom House, when Pass, if for Export Cargo, will be granted on application. for each Lighter proceeding to deliver Cargo at the Bar. On arrival at Paknam, this Pass must be delivered to the Chief Authority there.
2. Both Import and Export Duties must be paid at the Custom House; and upon a vessel being ready to proceed to Sea, the Master or Consignee on application at the Custom House will receive two Certificates, the one for the payment of Import, the other for Expor Duties. These being obtained, the Master will proceed to the British Consulate and deliver in to the Consul à true Manifest of outward Cargo, (in accordance with Form to be had at the Consulate,) together with the said Certificates. ` The Ship's Papers will then be returned to the Master, and the vessel allowed to leave.
3. When a vessel shall have taken in her Cargo and is about to drop down the River, the Consignee or Supercargo must at once pay the Duties at the Custom House, before a Receipt for Duties will be granted. In the case where Lighters are employed to go down to complete the loading of a vessel outside the Bar, and Consignees or Shippers do not wish to pay Duty on their Cargo till the Ship is loaded, a Certificate of its being due must be given, when a Pass will be granted by the Custom House, on which will be shown the Registered Custom House number of the vessel to which the Cargo is being conveyed. These Certificates will be presented for payment when the vessel has completed her outward Cargo. Should any disputes arise, the Certificates will be laid before the British Consul.
4. Merchants and others are cautioned when purchasing Rice brought from Petchaburi and Panat-sani-kom, (near Petriu,) to demand from the Owners of the Rice the receipt given by the Collectors of Rice Duties at these said places, and show it to the officer of Customs who is supervising the shipment, when, if it agrees with the quantity of Rice received on that date, (the date of Receipt,) according to his Accounts, the amount will be deducted from the Duties. Merchants are further cautioned against taking Duty Receipts for Rice which they have not bought, and which has been sold to other parties.
