Details required in applications
6.
All finished piecegoods under this scheme must be spun, woven and processed by spinning, weaving and finishing mills registered with the Department and approved for Commonwealth Preference purposes by the United Kingdom Customs authorities. A list of finishers currently qualified can be obtained from the Department's Textiles Licensing Office.
7. Any shipper may apply for export authorizations provided the finished piecegoods attain the specified minimum qualifying costs for the loomstate cloth, finishes and combined costs per square yard. Each application for an export authorization should fully describe the goods concerned. The descriptions must include cloth constructions, yarn counts, type of yarns (carded/combed), loomstate width and finishing processes undergono. Applications containing inadequate or misleading descriptions will be rejected.
8.
Each application must be supported by
(a) Documentary evidence of firm orders.
(b) A cost statement in the form of Appendix III to this Notice.
Each costing must relate to only one type of construction of fabric. If there are colour variations in piecegoods supported by one costing, the costs shown must be in respect of the colour pattern yielding the lowest Hong Kong cost content. The Hong Kong content
(i) allocated to the loomstate piecegoods per square yard should correspond to the costs shown in column (d) of Appendix II and IIA to this Notice. No deviation will be allowed from these costs which represent the standard of prices of the materials concerned less the cost of imported raw cotton used in their production;
(ii) of the finishing charges claimed must be in accordance with Appendix I to this Notice. These arbitrary costs represent the finishing charges less the cost of imported finishing materials and overseas royalties, but include the cost of ancillary processes such as desizing, singeing, colendering, stentering and inspection.
When the Hong Kong cost of material or finish is not shown in Appendices I, II or IIA, costings should first be obtained from the Department.
(c) A declaration, in the form of Appendix IV, by the weaver who
is to weave and to supply the grey material.
(a) A declaration, in the form of Appendix V, by the finisher
who is to process the material.
(e) A sample measuring one square yard of each of the designs and
materials under application. A numbered receipt will be issued for each sample accepted which will thenceforward be identified by that number. Samples will be returned to applicants after the end of the shipping period upon production of the relevant receipts.
Applications containing inadequate or misleading descriptions will be rejected.
Allocation of yardage
9.
Immediately after the closing date, the Department will examine all applications received and will decide on the scale of allocations, giving preference to those with the highest Hong Kong cost content per square yard. Cut-off levels established by virtue of the agreed categorization arrangements will be applied to all specific categories. This will mean that the cut-off levels for approval in specific categories may vary.
