FOR USE EXTERN No. 87. COLONIAL OFFICE 21501 Red 18 JUN 04!

Custom House, London, 17th June, 1904.

Sir,

I am desired by the Board of Customs to acknowledge the receipt of Mr. Lucas's letter of the 24th ultimo, No. 17736/1904, and to state that they have given careful consideration to the draft Bill and Regulations enclosed therein for giving effect in Hong Kong to the provisions of the Sugar Convention, so far as they are applicable to British Crown Colonies.

The Board observe that whilst Clause 2 of the Bill empowers the Governor of Hong Kong either to prohibit altogether the importation into the Colony of bounty-fed Sugar or to impose special (or countervailing) duties on any such Sugar imported, it is only proposed at the present time, according to the draft Regulations, to adopt the latter course. The position which will thereby be created on the export from Hong Kong of Sugar refined in the Colony from bounty-fed raw Sugar which was duly countervailed on its importation into the Colony, is one requiring careful consideration.

Hong Kong not being a party to the Convention all Sugars refined or prepared therein which are exported to a country which is a party to the Convention would apparently be subject to Article 8 of the Rules laid down by the Permanent Commission as to Certificates of Origin.
