GOODS BROUGHT FROM OVERSEAS
Passengers Unaffected By
Restrictions Dominion Special Service. AUCKLAND, March 21. Bona fide gifts brought by overseas visitors or by persons returning to New Zealfind are not being subjected to the import restrictions by the Customs Department. It is often usual for persons returning from abroad to bring with them articles of furniture or other effects for use in their homes. Inquiry shows that where the goods form part of the passenger’s ordinary baggage no demur to their importation has been raised so far by the Customs Department. Where their bulk precludes inclusion in the baggage permitted passengers on a vessel, it is stated that the position might arise where lhe Customs Department would require an application to be lodged for a licence, but it is considered that where they are genuinely intended for the use of the traveller it is unlikely, unless circumstances were exceptional, that a licence would be refused.
