i 138 WAREHOUSES IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES. NEWFOUNDLAND. ST. JOHNS. (From United States Consul Cornelius, St. Johns, Newfoundland.) In Newfoundland the facilities for the storage, at a nominal rental, of merchandise in transit or in bond, are very complete and simple. The agents of steamship lines can have their wharves and sheds declared by official proclamation to be sufferance warehouses by pay ing an annual fee of $120 to $240, according to the area embraced. Goods can be landed from shipboard into these sheus and held there indefinitely until permits are issued for their removal either on pay ment of duty, for transfer into bonded warehouses, or for transpor tation elsewhere. Any importer can have a suitable store along the water front recognized by the customs department as a bonded ware house, provided the proper officer approves of it. Government locks and seals are then affixed to its doors and windows, and it is only opened by a customs locker, who allows only such goods to be removed from it as a bonded warehouse permit specifies. Goods may not be bonded for a longer period than two years, but after the expiration of that term they can be rebonded for a similar period of time. The bonded warehouses are open only during custom-house hours—from 10 a. m. to 4 p. m.—and no fees are exacted from owners or lessees of such warehouses for any service performed by customs officers for them. For the convenience of small importers the customs depart ment maintains a special bonded warehouse, known as the King’s warehouse, in which space can be secured as desired. For transshipment of goods in bond all that is necessary is a permit allowing the goods to be removed, and the party who applies for this becomes liable for the duty, it becoming a first lien on his estate. When the goods are landed at their destination and pay duty there, the collector of customs certifies to the necessary papers to release the first party from his obligation under his bond. Charges for the removal of goods from boat or train to warehouse and vice versa are merely the truckman’s rates and a nominal fee for the permit. George 0. Cornelius, Consul. St. Johns, Newfoundland, August 89,190J. MEXICO. MEXICO CITY. (From United States Consul-General Parsons, Mexico City. Mexico.) I inclose herewith a report on warehouses for the storage of mer chandise in transit or in bond, written by Edward M. Conley, formerly vice and deputy consul-general in this office. The delay i» transmitting this report is explained in the report itself. The law governing bonded warehouses in Mexico went into effect July 1 last, and since that time only has there been a bonded warehouse in this country. It was therefore necessary to hold the report pending the
