Liable To Duty.—All dutiable articles are liable to duty. In practice, however, Passengers may be allowed to retain small quantities of dutiable articles for their own personal use without payment of duty, provided that they are duly declared and produced. This concession is liable at any time or in any circumstances to be witheld or modified as the interests of the Revenue may require; and it does not apply to dutiable articles in registered baggage examined elsewhere than at the port of landing or in unaccompanied baggage.

Through Baggage.—Passengers en route to destinations outside Great Britain or Northern Ireland may, on application, deposit the duty on dutiable articles retained in their possession for consumption outside Great Britain and Northern Ireland. In that case the duty is recoverable at the appropriate port or place of departure on production of the articles and the receipt for the deposit.

Bribery.—Any person giving, offering or promising any bribe, recompense or reward to a Customs Officer is liable to a penalty of £200.

These enactments will be strictly enforced. Tha baggage of any passenger who contravenes the law will be retained for special examination after the baggage of all the other Passengers has been cleared.

French Customs Formalities.
Visitors entering France must make to the Customs at the port of entry a true and complete declaration of articles which they are importing.

- The following articles are partcularly liable to dues or taxes :

Jewellery, new clothes or underclothes, colonial products, alcoholic drinks, personal medicaments, and generally all new articles.

The importation of the following is prohibited : Matches, playing cards, foreign copper coins, medicaments not purchased from an official druggist, drugs and pirated books or music.

As regards manufactured tobacco, the following will be admitted free of duties, on condition that they are declared :

The supply for a voyage not exceeding for each person 10 cigars, or 20 cigarettes, or 40 grams of tobacco.

This rule does not apply to women and children. On leaving France it is prohibited to take gold or silver money, either French or Foreign; it is also prohibited, except by special authorisation of the Finance Minister, to export a sum of more than 5,000 francs for each person, either in French banknotes or an equivalent sum in foreign banknotes. Travellers who do not intend to stay permanently in France can, at the point of entry, make a declaration to the Customs of all gold and silver foreign money, banknotes, cheques, share certificates or other valuable documents that they possess, when they will be given a certificate which will permit them, later on, to take out of France the afore- mentioned valuables.

However, as regards French banknotes, travelers cannot export for a higher value than 5,000 francs, but they can, without a special authorisation from the Finance Minister, obtain from a bank which does exchange business cheques or letters of credit for foreign countries, if they can justify that the funds emanate from a foreign country.
