The sealing-up of vessels’ stores by the Federal Customs and charging duty on stores have been forcibly resisted by the ocean-going vessels, and several vessels after their stores were sealed steamed outside the three mile limit and broke the seals with the intention of forcing the Federal Government to defend its position The latter, however, has withdrawn from the position and issued instructions to revert to the old method. Stores are now being issued aboard ships duty free.
