ENDORSEMENT FOR FOOD ORDERS RECOMMENDED
It is announced officially by Food Controller that all orders
the
for
foodstuffs from the United Kingdom for consignment to Hong Kong should, in future, be submitted to the Con- troller of Food for endorsement before
they are despatched.
As no control is at present being exercised on the export from the United Kingdom of many articles of food endorsement in the case of such foodstuffs will be merely formal.
Neglect to secure endorsement may, however, result in loss of priority of shipment by the exporters, and consignees are therefore advised to obtain endorsement in advance in all
cases.
