IMMEDIATELY AFTER ENTRY you must surrender this duplicate to the Licensed Dealer supported by the documents named in (b) or (c) of the previous paragraph. 4. IF YOU HAVE A SPECIAL ARRANGEMENT under paragraph 12 of the Notice to Importers, this letter from the Customs will indicate any necessary variations in the above procedure. The applicant should note at the head of the Form "Special Arrangement approved Control No. ⟦line⟧". NOTES ON THE EVIDENCE 5. EXCHANGE CONTROL COPIES OF CUSTOMS ENTRIES (a) At the time the Goods are entered to Customs additional copy of the Entry conspicuously marked in red ink "FOR EXCHANGE CONTROL PURPOSES ONLY" must be presented. This copy will be certified and stamped by the Cus- toms and returned to the Importer or his Agent on the passing of the Entry. Be- fore production to the Licensed Dealer (see above) this copy must be endorsed at the top with the number of the application (obtained from the duplicate Form Z 1, E or A. 1) against which the importation is to be written off. (b) Where application for transfer is made in respect of transit or transhipment goods, a copy of the "Transhipment Entry" will form the Exchange Control copy of the Customs Entry. (c) In the case of importations through the post for which the Customs do not require Entry, the wrapper of the parcel with the sender's Customs declaration and duty charge docket (if any) affixed, should be produced with the duplicate application in lieu of an Exchange Control copy of the Customs Entry. (d) Applicants are warned that copies of Entries for Exchange Control purposes will normally only be issued at the time the imported goods are entered with the Cus- toms. (e) Not more than one copy of an Entry for imported goods will be certified by the Customs for Exchange Control purposes and no copy will be issued to any person other than the importer or his agent who entered the goods. (f) Where the applicant is not the importer in whose name the Customs Entry is made, he should obtain the Exchange Control copy of the Entry from the importer. If, however, such copy is not available by reason of the fact that the Entry covers goods for more than one applicant, the applicant must ascertain and endorse on the invoices particulars of the relative Customs Entries, viz. port of importation, name of importing ship and date of report, number and date of Entry. (g) Where goods imported in more than one consignment are included in an invoice it should be accompanied by the Exchange Control copies of such Entries as wholly relate thereto, but in so far as the invoices may relate to part only of goods included in a particular Entry or Entries, the invoice must be endorsed with particulars (see previous paragraph) of the relative Customs Entry. 6. NOTES ON ADDITIONAL CHARGES The Exchange Control copy of the Customs Entry is to be accompanied by a copy of invoice or statement on which settlement for the goods has been, or will be, made and particulars of any charges payable in addition to the total amount shown on the invoice or statement must be endorsed thereon in the following form: Nature of Charge | To whom payable | Amount and currency in which payable The particulars of charges as above may, if it is so desired, endorsed by the Importer or his agent on the back of the Exchange Control copy of the Entry, the endorsement being signed and dated.
