With reference to your telegram 23rd June
it is proposed to have a system of permite for all
prohibited goods whether going to prohibited
destinations or not. Object is to have fuller control
over exporte and to have power to require landing
certificates in special cases to ensure that the goods
are not diverted from the declared destination. Landing
certificates would be seldom necessary in the case of
British ports. It will be required chiefly for
certain goods shipped under special licence to ports
in Asia. Previous experience of opium shows that it
is advisable to check Chinese shippers. Some
exportation is by junk. Hong Kong has no special
customs organization. Bills of Lading are issued
by shipping companies after export permits have been
issued. Bills of Lading are examined in special
cases but manifests are always examined.
