Sir,
2nd July, 1919.
With reference to Mr. Long's Circular despatch of the 5th February,
1917, I have the honour to inform you that in respect of goods shipped from
the United Kingdom, either without export licence, or against a licence which
does not specify the name of the consignee, no objection is now offered to
Bills of Lading and Shipping Manifests being made out “to order."
2. The licences now issued by the Export Licence Department of the
Board of Trade are in general made out to a particular consignee only in
the cases of prohibited goods destined for Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland,
North Russia, Holland or Switzerland. In these cases shippers exporting
goods from the United Kingdom are forbidden to make out their Bills of
Lading "to order," being required by the Customs (War Powers) Act to draw
these to the consignee named in the export licences.
3. I have to request that you will arrange for the adoption of a
procedure similar to the above in the case of exports from the territory under
your Government.
