CIRCULAR TO STEAMER COMPRAD ORES
SMUGGLING
74
The Compradores of Steamers are warned that they must be extremely careful and be on the watch to prevent opium, salt, rice or any other goods being smuggled on board their steamers. Some persons may attempt to bring the goods on board and stow them in the cargo room, which is a very serious offence, or they may put them in the passenger quarters etc.
The maximum penalty which the Customs can impose, and for which comprado res are liable if any smuggled goods are found, is Haikwan Taels 500.
Shanghai, August, 15th, 1914.
