examination before shipment, acquit themselves of

import duty before departure.

ARTICLE IX.

Chinese goods which are imported into Hong kong

from a treaty port in China, and which are re-exported

to the same or another treaty port in China within one

year of their arrival in Hong Long, shall be re-admitted

into China free of import duty, if they are in their

original packages or if permission has been received

from the Chinese Maritime Customs for their repacking.

They shall also be re-admitted into China free of

coast trade duty if coast trade duty is hereafter

abolished in the case of Chinese goods imported into

one treaty port in China from another treaty port in

China.
