Explanatory Nore.
(This Note is not part of the regulations, but is intended to indicate their general purport).
The Importation (Prohibition) (Strategic Commodities) Reguladionu, 1999, revoke and re-enact, with alterations, the Importation (Prohibition) (Specifs! Articles) Regulations, 1952 (G.N.A. 170/52).
24 The major difference between the two sets of regulations lies in the Schedulic. The new one for the most part quotes in full the revised embar lists announced last year and published in the Board of Trade Jourdal August 15th. 1958.
3. The trading community in Hong Kông is well acquainted with B lists above referred to which reflect a considerable relaxation of controls. Sub- stitution of the new Schedule with its precise definitions for the present Schockie with its blanket definitions will reduce the number of licences submitted to Commerce and Industry Department and will generally facilitate the Dow trade, without relaxing the essential control over strategic goods.

Explanatory Note.
(This Note is not part of the regulations, but is intended to indicate their general purport).
Acetic anhydride is a chemical controlled under the Importation Probibition) (Specified Articles) Regulations, 1952, on the ground that it is used in the manufacture of strategically important plastics, organic acetates and aber chemicals, dyes, aeroplane dopes, synthetic drugs, photographic film, etc. It is also used to some extent in the manufacture of a high explosive (cyclonfte), 2. Acetic anhydride is now no longer to be considered of strategic portance and the commodity is excluded from the list of strategic commodities utained in regulations made in replacement of the 1952 reputations above- mentioned,
3. As mentioned above, acetic anhydride can be used in the processing of plastics, which are extensively manufactured in the Colony, but inquiries andorted by the Commerce and Industry Department have led to the belief that local manufacturers do not use it for such purpose. This chemical is, however, of importance in the manufacture of diacetylmorphine hydrochloride heroin) and it is therefore considered desirable to control its importation by the above regulations which are made under the Importation and" Exportation Ordinance, Chapter 50.
