Conditions of Shipments
15.
Each export authorization will be valid for three months and 95% of the allocated yardage must be shipped within that period. Failure to comply may result in administrative penalties.
16. All consignments to be shipped against these export author- izations must be routed through the Department's Kowloon Inspection Control in Godown No.12A of the Hong Kong and Kowloon Wharf and Godown Company premises, Tsim Sha Tsui, for inspection against the registered sample before export. Some variation from the sample in design and in colour pattern may be permitted subject to prior approval by the Department, but the material used must be identical in construction and finish to the registered material and the Hong Kong cost content must not be materially changed. In case of doubt, the shipper may be required to prove that the Hong Kong cost content has not been reduced.
17.
The Department will bear the cost of the examination service but shippers will be required to pay the normal commercial storage and handling charges to the godown company. Each shipper will be permitted to send two workmen with each consignment to open and repack cases selected for examination.
18. Applications for export licences in respect of these consignments, together with the relevant export authorizations and commercial invoices, should be presented at the Control at the time the goods are submitted for inspection. Applications must be supported by a manufacturer's certificate (as at Appendix VIII), which should be securely affixed to the duplicate copy of the licence application. The Control will issue receipts against these applications. Applicants should present these receipts to the Department's Textiles Licensing Office when collecting the export licences. The invoices will be returned to the shipper immediately after examination by the Control officers.
19.
The procedures for the issue of Commonwealth Preference Certificates set out in paragraphs 2 to 4 of Notice to Exporters, Series 1 (Britain): No.10/67 will apply.
20.
After inspection, the goods will be stored in the Hong Kong and Kowloon Wharf and Godown Company's premises pending export. They will not be permitted to leave these premises for storage elsewhere.
Warning
21.
Companies are warned that any evidence of false or incomplete descriptions in respect of applications for export authorizations, of manipulation in costing details submitted to accountants or to the Department, or of substitution of goods not approved will result in the summary rejection of such applications and render the applicant companies ineligible to apply for any further allocation under this or future High Hong Kong Cost Content Schemes. In addition, if the offending company holds quota, consideration will also be given to removing its name from the Department's register of quota holders for the British market.
Forms
22.
Applications should be made on export authorization forms. These and additional copies of Appendices V-VIII are obtainable from the Department's Textiles Licensing Office.
