CHEAP
GOODS
Capetown, Jan, 28. The Customs amendment bill, which was read for the first time in the Assembly yesterday, con- tains a provision for the protection of the South African textile industry against cheap goods imported into the Union indirectly through Western Europe and Britain,
An explanatory memorandum on the bill says the Customs Act laye down that an article qualifies as the manufacture of a particular territory If at least 25 per cent of its factory cost by materials is represented
in that Jabour or produced taritory.
Under this provision It has been found, for Instance, that cotton piece goods produced th the East at very low cost are sent to Western countries and Britain where they are further processed and then exported to South Africa, says the memor andum.
