The import into this Colony, except by licence under the hand of the Metals Controller or of a public officer authorized by him in that behalf, of unmanufactured, semi-manufactured or manufactured metals, alleys and scrap, of every descrip- tion, other than ores, is hereby prohibited.

For the purposes of this order, scrap means the residue of metals or alloys remaining or discarded after such metals or alloys have undergone any process of fabrication or manufacture, and includes cuttings, croppings, punchings, turnings, drillings and filings, and any metals or alloys ob- tained in or resulting from the process of breaking up any machinery, vessel or article which is constructed wholly or partly of metal or alloy.
