THE SPIRIT
OF TRADITION
"Navicerts" may be described "commercial passports" in respect of consignments which have been ap- proved by His Majesty's representa- tives before shipment from the coun- try of origin.
This system was applied during the last war and proved successful, many neutral shippers taking advantage of the facilities it accorded.
Goods covered by "navicerts" will receive favoured treatment at contra- band control bases and ships the whole of whose cargo is covered by "navi- certs" will be subject to minimum de- lay.
་
DETAILS REQUIRED Shippers in neutral countries who desire to avail themselves of the con- venience of "navicerts" will be re- quired to furnish His Majesty's repre- sentatives with details of goods they are exporting, their nature and quan- tity, country of destination and the name and address of the consignee or, as soon as is available, the name of the vessel in which goods are to be shipped and date of shipment.
