With reference to Your Excellency's
Note of the 7th of March with regard to the
difficulties placed in the way of the
importation of French spirituous liquors into
Hong Kong, I have the honour to inform you
that a report on the subject has now been
received from the Governor of that Colony.
that
The Governor states t
the Superintendent of
Imports and Exports of the government of
Hong Kong has not in practice insisted on the
certificate of the "Contributions Indirectes"
Department in cases where other certificates
produced have appeared satisfactory to him and
that these have, since the regulations came into
force, included certificates signed by Mayors
of localities, by local French customs
authorities, and in one case, by the President
of a Chamber of Commerce.
