CUSTOMS REGULATIONS.

Standards for Condensations, Etc.

Regulation 109 of the Customs Regulations (Statutory Rules 1913, No. 346), is hereby amended by the addition of the following:—

“Opium for Medicinal Purposes.

The standard for opium for medicinal purposes, and opium contained in any medicinal preparation, is dependent upon the morphine content. Opium having a morphine content of not more than 10½ per cent. is chargeable with duty at the rate per pound imposed by the Customs Tariff in force at the date of entry for home consumption. Where the morphine content exceeds 10½ per cent. the rate applicable is found by multiplying the Tariff rate by the percentage of morphine content and dividing by 10½.”
