THE CUSTOM HOUSE HANDBOOK: BEING THE MERCHANTS' AND IMPORTERS' GUIDE TO THE BLSINESS OF THE Customs De USTOMS J EPARTIENT Compiled by Arthur Searcy, of H.M.'s Customs. Published by authority of the Honorable the Treasurer. H. F. LEADER, GOVERNMENT PRINTER, NORTH-TERRACE. 18S9. CUSTOM HOUSE HANDBOOK. PREFACE. Hr7 73 L l I WW THE last complete Customs Handbook was pub- lished in 1883, and an Appendix to it, containing the Tariff of 1885 and other important changes, was issued in 1886. The change of Tariff in 1887 rendered it necessary to again issue either another Appendix or a complete Guide. The latter course was decided upon, and last September a preliminary part relating to the Tariff only was issued; and although the Handbook has been somewhat delayed in issue, the compiler confidently hopes that, containing as it does a very full and careful interpretation of '' The Tariff Revision Act of 1887," a ^ known local Customs regulations, an epitome of Acts relating to Customs, together with a mass of other information, it will be found useful and instructive, not only to the general public, but to the officers of the Customs Department. The countenance and valuable assistance received from the Collector of Customs and other officers in the preparation of this edition are gratefully acknow- ledged. A. S.

The Customs officer will attend at the day and hour named, and collect duty according to the South Australian tariff. Any information required in the performance of this duty can be obtained per telegram from the Sub-Collector, Mount Gambier. 4.

EXPORT entries (blanks) will be supplied for use of merchants or agents gratis, at all Custom Houses or railway stations, for entering all goods and live stock not being already entered under bond, intended to be exported over the frontier. 2. Upon the entry for such goods or live stock in accordance with the prescribed form being made out, it is to be handed in to the proper rail- way officer at the time of invoicing or waybilling such goods for their destination, and the railway officer will at once forward it to the Sub- Collector of Customs at Serviccton or Cockbxirn, as the case may be. 3. Entries for bonded goods of all kinds, viz.: — "In transit," "ex " warehouse," or for " drawback " must, as at present, be duly passed at the Custom Houses, and the Sub-Collector's copies of entries forwarded under cover to him direct (in transit and warehouse by the Customs, and drawback by the merchants). 4.

CUSTOM HOUSE HANDBOOK. 105 Queensland Border Customs, THE Queensland Customs have officers stationed at the following places on the South Australian border and adjacent thereto, viz. : — At Birdsvixle, situated on the Diamantina : at Betoota, situated about 100 mdes east of Birdsville ; at Oontoo, on Cooper's Creek; and Wompah, close to South Australian and New South Wales border. The following other stations: — viz., Htingerford, Wooroorooka, Hebel, Mtjngindi, Texas, Wallangarra, and Stanthorpe — are all situated near the New South Wales border. Persons importing goods to Queensland from South Australia or New South Wales should, as early as convenient, give notice to the officer in charge of the station at which it is intended the goods shall enter Queensland, so that he may be at the place appointed to inspect goods, examine invoices, and receive duties. The border officers will receive duties before the arrival of goods, and will also receive invoices of goods to arrive, compute the duty payable thereon, and inform importers who reside at a distance of the amount required, so as to prevent delay to teams on their arrival at the border. Duties may be paid in cash on the border on arrival of goods, by guaranteed bank cheque, or by depositing a sufficient amount to the credit of the Customs bank account of the officer in charge of any of the Customs stations, the bank in such cases advising the officer, who then places amounts so paid to the credit of the importer in his individual ledger, returning the balance, if any, when applied for. The following are the Regulations for the Admission, Free of Duty, of Queensland Sugar Returned Borderwise from New South Wales or South Australia. 1. Every shipment of sugar, exported for return to Queensland border- wise, as above, must be entered out in the usual way as if for export, with a declaration that the whole of the sugar so entered is for return to Queensland ; and, in addition to the manufacturer's mark, each bag must be marked Q.S., with certain progressive numerals, to be obtained at the Cvistom House, Brisbane. 2. The proper officer will then give a certificate, in duplicate, that the sugar in question is of Queensland growth and manufacture, and that it is being forwarded to Sydney or Port Adelaide, as the case may be, for return to Queensland borderwise. Such certificate must show thereon the name of the shipper, the name of the ship, marks and numbers, and name of border Customs station where it is intended the sugar shall cross , One copy of the certificate will be sent to the Customs authorities at Sydney or Port Adelaide, and one to the Customs officer on the border. 3.

It is also used in experiments in natural philosophy, and in ascertaining the strength of spirituous liquors. Gold vessels, plate, or any manufacture of gold may be wrought of any of the standards of 18, 15, 12, or 9 carats fine gold in every pound troy. Thus, when any article of gold plate or jewellery is spoken of as being 18 carats fine, we understand that of the gold used in its manufacture 18 parts are pure gold, and 6 parts copper; all alloyed gold being considered as divided into 24 equal parts. The relative value of the carat of gold is 10 dwts. Diamonds are weighed by carats of 4 grains, but 4 diamond grains are only equal to 3 - 2 grains troy. 1 oz. troy is equal to 150 diamond carats. — <$> AVOIRDUPOIS WEIGHT. Drams (dr. ).

This system of measuring by decimal progression is borrowed from the French ; its use in the United Kingdom was rendered permissive by an Act passed July 29th, 1864. The French system is based on the metre as a unit of length, the metre being a line equal in length to the ten-millionth part of the fourth of a great circle of 360° passing round the earth through the poles. A cube measuring the tenth part of a metre every way was adopted as the unit of measures of capacity, and called a litre. The weight of distilled water contained in a litre was called a kilogramme, and the thousandth part of this, called a gramme, was fixed on as the unit of weight. The successive multiples by 10 of these units are distinguished by the prefixes deca (10), hecto (100, or 10 X 10), kilo (1000, 10 X 10 X 10), and myria (10000, or 10 X 10 X 10 X 10), taken from Greek words meaning ten, hundred, thousand, and ten thousand, while their successive subdivisions by 10 are noted by the prefixes deci (-its), centi (too)> an( I milli (-fuVij)! and taken from Latin words meaning ten, hundred, and thousand. ♦ MEASURES OF LENGTH.
