No certificate is to be deemed valid after the expiry of twelve calendar months from the date of its issue, or such less time (if any) as may be mentioned in the certificate by the authority issuing the same.
No. VI.
Inasmuch as it is possible that sugar may occasionally reach Hong Kong before the arrival of the certificate of origin relating to the same and it would be inconvenient and expensive to importers if such sugar were not delivered from customs charge until the arrival of the certificate, it shall be competent for the Superintendent of Imports and Exports, upon application in the form in Appendix (A), to authorise the delivery of such sugar on the security of a deposit of such amount or of a bond in such penalty as he may think fit for the due production of the necessary certificates within a prescribed period, provided that he sees no reason for suspecting that the sugar emanates from a prohibited country.
No. VII.
Pending a final decision of the Permanent Commission, sugar from foreign States and their colonies not parties to the Brussels Sugar Convention, Denmark, Russia, and the Argentine Republic may be imported or brought into the Colony, upon payment to the Superintendent of Imports and Exports of a special duty per hundredweight equal to the countervailing duty which may have been given on the production or exportation by such foreign states or colonies as may have been declared by the Permanent Commission.
Sugar may be imported at the rate of countervailing duty used by the United States of America but not otherwise. Sugar imported or brought into this Colony in contravention of the foregoing Order in Council or of these Regulations shall be forfeited and may be disposed of as the Superintendent of Imports and Exports shall direct. The rates of countervailing duty referred to above and the countries to which they apply are given in the appendix to these Regulations, and any alterations will be notified from time to time in the Government Gazette.
Such bounty-giving foreign countries or colonies as are referred to in Regulation VI.
