RULES.
RULE 1. Unenumerated Goods:-Articles not enumerated in the list of exports but enumerated in the list of imports, when exported, will pay the amount of duty set against them in the list of imports; and similarly, articles not enumerated in the list of imports, but enumerated in the list of exports, when imported, will pay the amount of duty set against them in the list of exports.
Articles not enumerated in the list, nor in either list of duty-free goods, will pay an ad valorem duty of 5 per cent, calculated on their market value.
RULN 2. Duty-Free Goods.-Gold and silver bullion, foreign coins, flour, Indian meal, sago, biscuit, preserved meats and vegetables, cheese, butter, confectionery, foreign clothing, jewellry, plated-ware, perfumery, soap of all kinds, charcoal, fire- wood, candles (foreign), tobacco (foreign), cigars (foreign), wine, beer, spirits, house- hold stores, ships' stores, personal baggage, stationery, carpeting, druggeting, cutlery, foreign medicines, and glass, and crystal ware.
The above pay no import or export duty, but, if transported into the interior will, with the exception of personal baggage, gold and silver bullion, and foreign coins, pay a transit duty at the rate of 2 per cent ad valorem.
A freight, or part freight of duty-free commodities (personal baggage, gold and silver bullion, and foreign coins, excepted) will render the vessel carrying them, though no other cargo be on board, liable to tonnage dues.
RULE 3. Contraband Goods: Import and export trade is alike prohibited in the following articles-gunpowder, shot, cannon, fowling-pieces, rifles, muskets, pistols, and all other munitions and implements of war, and salt.
RULE 4. Weights and Measures.--In the calculations of the Tariff, the weight of a piculof one hundred catties is held to be equal to one hundred and thirty-three and one-third pounds avoirdupois; and the length of a chang of ten Chinese feet, to be equal to one hundred and forty-one English inches.
