26 FOREIGN TRADE ZONES tariff rate placed upon the article by the regular customs act, and it must be equal to the port duty collected in the customs port of Copen- hagen. The latter tax is calculated upon the basis of one-tenth of a registered ton. Even if the rate upon any article does not reach the amount usually paid for one-tenth of a registered ton, payment will be made upon this basis. The products obtained in the territory of the free- port must on entry into the territory of the Danish customhouse submit to the regulations which may at anv time be established under the ordinary tariff acts. Malmo.—Goods may be stored, examined and tested, repacked and divided in the free harbor without payment of customs duties, transit dues, cost of surveillance, or other dues to the public treasury. The retail sale of ships’ provisions and other necessities is permitted under regulations designed to prevent improper disposition of such goods. Other retail trade is prohibited. Special permission of the King is required for conducting industrial activities, but it is reported that such permission may be readily procured. Permission for industrial activities does not include book printing, job printing, or other activities of a like nature which because of more favorable conditions in the free port are likely to harm similar activities in the domestic market, or are of a nature to cause danger or inconvenience to the establishments or goods stored there. Goods which according to regulations in force for the prevention of infectious human or animal diseases are subject to certain protective provisions or which are en- tirely prohibited importation into the country are also prohibited to be imported into the free port or are subject to the same protective measures as prescribed in the customs harbor. Stockholm. —The free port at Stockholm is used mainly as a port for the transshipment and reconsignment of merchandise. Goods may be unpacked, divided, and repacked in larger or smaller parcels, and they may be inspected by the consignee or persons authorized by him. More liberal free storage time is allowed for goods intended for reexport than for other goods. Manufacturing activities are per- mitted only when sanctioned by the King. All retail trade within the free zone is prohibited. Gothenburg.—At the free port of Gothenburg merchandise may be landed, stored, and manufactured into more valuable products and shipped out again to other parts of the world without payment of tariff. Goods may be sorted out, parceled, or treated in any other way without payment of customs dues. Retail trade is not permitted in the free port. However, if permission be obtained from the King, the sale of victuals and other ship chandler’s goods may take place on certain conditions. Permission to carry on industrial activities does not include book printing or similar activities. Goods are to be stored openly and exhibited to the public and foreign goods
