ranahlament Controls. *
The Belgian legislation permits the transit of merchandise by any mode
of transportation to be controlled by license. Goods so controlled
at present are arms, enunitions and Implements of wars together with
certain petroleum products. 'A.th regard to the petroleum products a
transit license is not required when the transport is made under cue-
toms survei/ente. This exemption can be withdrawn in certain cases.
The muttons authorities are not inpowered to impose restrictions on
tranoit traffic other than those resulting from the license referred
to above.
The control of goods in transit, which are subject to license covers
any transhipment which might take place In the enure(' of the tranapnrt
irrespective of the manner or place of the transhipment.
Goods consigned to a bonded warehouse are excluded from this control on
entering the warehouse but a transit license is required for arms, mu-
nitions and Instruments of war which, on leaving the warehouse are
consigned to a foreign country.
Goods which stay on board a ship that chances its destination at sea,
or even that cones into a Belgian harbor without unloading cannot be
controlled by means of a transit license,
n area or zone is exempt from these regulations in Belgium. Conde
subject to transit license are subject to such a license irrespective
of the country of destination,
reneit license is required in support of the customs declaration,
so fmr as possible, that the conditions imposed
on the use
*Note. The term transit used here applies to all transporte of goods
on the Belga-Luxembourg customs territory including the transhipment
operations mentioned in pares. 2-4 under transhipment controls. The
terns tranahient and transhipnent license are not used in the Belgo-
Luxembourg Regulations.
The customs insure

on the use of the license are properly fulfilled, in particular those
referring to the country of destination. Before e license is granted
use is made of the ICAV system in order to insure that the ultinated
destination is as stated on the application.
Belgian Customs Legislation provides for temporary imports, the majority
of which can be made without license i.e. mntor cars on an international
travel document, samples etc. In other cases (in particular goods whioh
have to be made the subject of further manufacture) import and export
licenses are required on every occasion. Even therefore, in the event
of roods not being subject to transit license, their import and re-
export can be controlled if they have been customs processed in Belgiun.
tieh regard to national and nen-nationals, according to Belgian customs
regulations goods can be cleared through the customs by the person who
has their disposal, irrespective of his nationality or place of resi-
dence. ln the other hand if clearance Is subject to the production of
a license delivered to a specific person, the Customs will net permit
the intervention of any other person unless in possession of a man-
date to that effect from the license holder. (may be a loophole)
Thus the system does not differ in application to resident and non-
residents.
The Belgian authorities can refuse to anew roods in transit to be
loaded for carriage to the destination desired by the miner in the
event of no license being available in respect of roods which are sub-
ject to such license. (see requirements above)
C. Transactions or Financial Centrole
All persons and firms resident in Belgium and Luxembourg are re-
quired to obtain prier authorization from the BelgoeLuxentourg Exchanee
Institute for all buying and selling transactions abroad. When foreign
exchange is paid in advance by the ultimate purchaser of the goods, it
can be made without prior authority. Wien foreign exchange is held
abroad, in the sere way, prior authority is always required for ery trans
action whatsoever in foreign currencies or in order to hold foreign
currencies at home or abroad. No general permissions are granted to
selected firms Or individuals.
The Exchange Control can insure that when exchange control permission
is given for a transaction, the foreign currency is not spent on the
purchase of strategic goods for eventual shipment to the soviet bloc or
China by application of the IC/DY System as for ordinary exports.
In principal and by application of the IC/Dy System, and, if called for
in the event of suspicion, by asking to see the invoices and way bills,
and by carrying out accountancy checks before eranting the final author-
ity for the release of the foreign currency, the exchange control system
can determine whether the roods which never entered the country are not

another ship, (b) golds transferred direct or by means of a lighter
to another craft, and (c) goods landed and kept in bond but not to
goods which stay on beard a ship which calls en route for another
destination.
Goods in transit land frontiers at airports are also controlled
with the exception If those transit ting on a through bill of lading
without any change If ultimate destinatinn and goods are not unloaded
from airplanes in transit traffic.
Documentation requested by the export control officers (or the Pational
Eank) are, an application from the exporter (merchant) giving all de-
tails. Vhen strategic commoditiee are exported, an import certificate
or end-use statement is normally required. Physical centre' is carried
out by the custnOs authorities who check the expert licence against
the commodity and supervise the loading of the goods into the ship or
airplane.. Coeds exported by railroad or by mail are checked in a aim-
liar way by the officials of the State hallway or the Post lffice.
Technical experts are available whenever necessary. Eo area or zone
is exempt from these regulations.

tionals

Any purchase of foreign exchange by a person or firm residing in Denmark
for goods abroad in any currency for any purpose other than import into
Denmark or for consumption or use In the country of purchase, must be
authorized by the National Bank of Denmark. If foreign exchange does
net need to be purchased the Danish government would not be aware of the
transaction, however, Danish nationals are only allowed to hold foreign
exchange in foreign banks for special purposes and any foreign exchange
earned by Danish residents must be repatriated within a very short period
of time.

,eality considered to be outside the customs limits.
'TAatele which have practiced the system of free sones have obtained
:ibettjal advantages from it insofar as export and transit commerce are
.onicaorted, as mall as from the industrial viewpoint, all of which has
7lieulted in a marked amelioration of their economic positions.
Irertain countries have granted other facilities in addition to those
mentioned above, such as the depot system, the Draw PUY*, and temporary
Joceptance.
iypt esteems that it is advantageous for her to apply this system with
the shortest possible delay, and is ready to accord all guarantees and customs
teciliti.ee required, as well as to extend roaconable tax exemptiote to the
freo sones.*
rest of the explanatory note consists of comrentary on the I./rovisions i7,f the
-,nrious articles of the law.
No specific locations for establishment of the free sont,e is mentioned in the law.
rt press article of 13 November 1952 strted that the Customs Administration was teking
'taps to obtain passage of the law, and that the areu ohoeen for the free mane in the
port of Alexandria would have an area of 70,000 sq. meters, to be located near the
cInel Quay in the neighborhood of the El Mahmoudia customs. This article stated that
1.010g out of the boundaries of this avast area' (about 1 city block square) had
already begun. No confirmation of this has been received.
The creation of free zones in Egyptian ports has been advocated as one means of
encouraging investments- of foreign and local capital in industrial development. Benefits
are the exemption from certain taxes, losering percentages of Egyptian neti-ruals who
must be employed and the amount of wages paid them in relation to total number of
employees and payroll, and the facility for importing items, heavy machinery for
instance, to be used within the free sones ft manufacturing processes, on which no
elastcas duties would have to be paid. If administrative incomprehension and
Inefficiency do not render its application too difficult, this law may result in
benefftting Egypt's commercial and industrial development.

C. Treneaction_or Fimancia Controls
iThetever the destination of the goods, no one is allowed to make pur-
chases abroad without an authorisation from the Ceverement department
concerned. This means, in any currency. when a_ French resident acts on
behalf of a foreigner* the transaction being financed abroad in its
entirity, the operation by hypothesiel requires no prior authorization.
If, however, the principal reeiding in France repatriates the price of
his good offices, he can be asked for information as, to the origin of
funds.
NO private funds may be held- abroad without prior agreement. Any funds
the French resident may dispose of within the framework of the rules- in

of the regulations, In particular, the purchase of geode with these
funds is subject to common lay restrictions,

. Trfnshinment_Controls
Time did not allow for a thorough study of the rather involved German
tranohipment control system. In brief, Germany controls., to a. certain
extent, the.. transit of arm, munitions, and implements of wars In ad-
dition when a citizen of the German Federal Republic becomes the
owner of any goods he: suet get a special authorization before the goode
can be ?forwarded from Germany. These controls, together with the sys-
tem of customs supervision, have been extended to the freeports in
Germany.
All persons and firms resident in Germany are required to obtain the
approval of the Exchange Control Authority before purchasing (whether
as principals or as agents) any goods abroad in any currency for any
purpose other than for import into Germany or for consumption or use
in the country of purchase. In either case where the foreign exchange
is paid in advance by the ultimate purchaser of the goods or where foreign
exchange is held abroad or at home by a person or firm in Germany, an
exchange control permission has to be procured in advance for the con-
clusion of a contract as well as for the fulfilment of the transaction
including the financial settlement. This also applies, if the individital
or firm holds the foreign exchange required for the settlement in an
account with a foreign trade bank (Aussenhandelsbank) in the Federal
Republic. (Merchanting trade fund ., Traneithandels-Fends) Exchange
control regulations do not permit the possession of foreign exchange
accounts atroad. The conclusion and fulfilment of each merchanting
transaction by neaps of claims to foreign eschange as a result of
a currency retention scheme are excluded. :iaEl-exportation of conmod-
ities acquired on the basis of import rights (Finfuhranrechte) is pro-
hibited.
The conclusion and fulfilment of each merchanting transaction requires
an exchange control permission to be procurred in advances Global

are ateolutely reliable., In no case such global permissions authorize
the, carrying out of merchanting transactions with the Soviet bloc. In
CAT,SEIS of transactions with the Soviet bloc countries as purchasers*
special licenses are required. Such transactions are not only screened
with respect to currency problems but also in regard to the strategic
nature of the goods in question. This latter control is applied by ttte
12eat-.Fast Trade Group of the rederel Ministry If Economics, 'which group
is the competent authority for the control of the trade with the Soviet
eebite
Pursuant to the wording of the exchange control licenses acquired in
each case for the conclusion and fulfilment of merchanting transaction
the euthorizatinn does not entitle its bearer to spend the foreign
exchange received under the permission, for the purchase of strategic
Foods destined to the Soviet bloc. Any use contrary to the regulations
of the license granted is subject to punishment under the articles of
Law No, 53. Routine exchange investigations are carried through. Here
the performance of the authorized transactions is checked in detail
by screening the files and documents of the traders concerned. Besides,
the merchant is obliged to report immediate to the controlling agency
each individual transaction concluded by him on the basis If a global
permission granted to him and at the same time to state the country
of supply and the country of purchase. Furthermore, on each merchant?
ing transaction Wieich is carried out, the merchant has to make a re?
port -which contains the amount and the currency of the sums paid and
received. Thus the exchange controls checks that when permission has
been given for a transaction the foreign currency is not spent on the
purchase of strategic goods for eventual shipiont to the Soviet bloc
or Chins, and that when the goods never enter Germany at all, It checks
that the goods are not strategic goods and that the authorized person
or firm delivered the goods as authorized and net to another country.
Foreigners who have their permanent residence in the Federal Republic
are subject to the same exchange control regulations as Carman nationals.
ro merchanting permission will be granted to foreigners who, although
Being in Germany, do no reside here permanently.

that the commodity will be re-exported from the inland of

(That is, a longer period of storage, a cheaper warehouse
tariff and official fire insurance.) Gee& that Ore
destined for Syria can not come under these storage regu-
lations, since they are still eubject to the Letaneee-

You will note that it appears_ from the above that it is centraey to the
Lebanese-Syrian Tariff Union Law to mark bills of lading !Free Pore

is a point which we will endeavor to have clarified through the Embassy
at Beirut since, if our interpretation of the regulations above is COT-.
recte it: would appear that the jeep diversion case Wherein goods destined
for Syria were. marked "Beirut Free Zone" on the bill of lading. in this
country constituted a vielatien of the Lebanese-Syrian Tariff Union Law.
If further- interest in this general matter of shipments. to Beirut are
certain cormetta contained in D-9 of July 1, 1953 from the Beirut Em-
bay. The Embassy states the following in :connection with a ehipment
of Austrian aluminum which was destined for Beirut "loco" but instead
entered the Free port and was then diverted to Rumania:
"It should be noted, in this connection, that Lebanese law does
not require a merchant obtaining an import license actually to
import the merchamdise into Letanen, An order may be cancelled
-without notification to the Lebanese eevernment of such cancel-
lation, or Foods may be: entered into the Free Zone upon arrivale
at the discretion of the importer, even if manifested fAr Beirut
(this would not, however, appear to apply to shipments for Syria
If our interpretation of the regeletiens above is cerrect).
Additionally? no foreign government agency has any jurisdiction
over shipments manifested to the Free Zone, unless it can be
proven that the manifest itself has been altered after preparation
In the pert of embarkation of the golds."
eo
the result of this case, the Embasey indicated that it has been In-
formed ty the Lebanese government that "in the future,. no import licenses

would be granted to merchants oiling to rport strategic materials
(into the Lebanese economy) unless a bond, amounting to from 25 to
33%
of the value of the order, Was posted. This bond would be for?
feited if, upon arrival of the merchandise, the merchant entered it
Into the Free Zone". The Embassy noted that this adtion went beyond
any it had requested. if course, this bond requirement would not
have applied to the jeep shipment since it was for Eyrie and not for
importatien into Lebanon. The Embaasyls conclusions and recommenda?
tions, which date lack as far as July 1.953, would now seem highly im?
portant in retrospect -- The foregoing ease clearly demonstrates the
need for tightening up controls over strategic materials, if similar
instances are not to be repeated in the future. It also shows the
necessity of constant surveillance of the shipment en route, to pre?
vent alteration of documents at transshipment points. By the time
such shipments reach reirut manifested to the Free Zone, itbaesy
action is foredoomed to failure".

j. Authorization from the Bank of Portugal is required for the pur.
chase of goods; (a) for consumption in Portugal, (b) which are
exported from certain cnuntries to, or for consumption by a
country other then Portugal.
This regulation applies to all persons and firms resident in the
Portuguese monetary aone. It should nevertheless be pointed out:
(a) that for several years, as far as is known, no transaction of
this nature has been submitted for consideration by the Bank of
Portugal and; (b) that, in the event of such a transaction being
submitted for consideration by the Bank of Fortugal and calling
for payment in the currendy of any country belonging to the European
Pay0ents Union, any authorization which miAht be given to enable
the transaction to take place would always depend on previous agree-
ment having been riven by the competent financial authorities in
that country, to whom the banking establishment in the Portuguese
banking zone acting as intermediary would submit full details
through their banking correspondent.
2. When foreign exchange is paid in advance by the purchaser the bank-
ing establishments in the Portuguese monetary zone do not require
any authorization from the Bank of Portugal before accepting any
sum in foreign currency, except in the case of United Etates dollars,
when this sum concerns:
(a) Payment for goods exported from this zone under
cover of the relevant export permit;
(b) Payment for duly-certified services rendered to
Portugal by the country concerned in the transfer
of funds, up to a limit of $100,000.
Thus, in the event of payment in advance for roods to be exported
from any country to another foreign country, it would be necessary
for the banking establishment in the Portuguese monetary zone to
obtain prior authority from the Bank of Portugal enabling them to
accept, on behalf of a person or firm resident in that zone, any
sum relating to such a payment.
For the second part of the transaction, i.e., the mythent to be
made abroad, the procedure is that set out in paragraph one,
3, Yhen the foreign exchange is held by the person or firm ordering in
Portugal in a bank account abroad.
In this case, the holder of a foreign exchange account in a foreign

Eank of Portugal in order to be able to make use of his balance
by an order to pay or by direct withdrawal,
!Since there is thus a possibility of these orders to pay being
sent direct, and therefore without the intervention of any
Portugueae banking establishment, it is logical to assume that
their execution should be liable to control in accordance with
the system in force in the country in which the issuing bank
is situated.
When the foreign exchange is held by the perron or firm ordering
in Portugal in a bank adcount in Portugal.
All transactions not foreseen in the "Norma" and "Regulating
Instructions" must be submitted for previous consideration by
the Bank of Portugal. As the utilization of balancee in foreign
eadhange held, in the name of residents or non-residents in the
Portuguese monetary zone, in any banking establishment in that
zone is not provided for under the "Norms" and "Regulating
Instructions", the transactione involved are therefore dependent
upon prior authority from the Bank of Portugal.
5. General permits (permissions) are not granted. The authorization
is always individual and obligatory for each commercial transaction.
. The "Norms" and "Regulating Instructions" inlbrce as regards ex-
change control are applied without distinction to nationals and
non-nationals residing in Portugal.
7. Portuguese controls provide checks that granted foreign exchange
is not spent on the purchase of strategic goods for the Bloc, i.e.,
(a) he-export of goods from a foreign country to another
foreign country, to be paid for by Portuguese inter-
mediaries.
In view of the special nature of this transaction,
there would be no possibility of obtaining the
necessary permit from the Bank of Portugal unless,
after examination of the documents concerned, the
Bank is able to draw the conclusion that the goods
In question are not destined for the Soviet Bloc
or China.
(b) Export of goods from a foreign country to center of
the Portuguese monetary zone.
AuthoritY for the payment involved is only granted
by the .ank of Portugal after the importer has
shown proof, through the intervention of the Banking
establishment

Freeport Regulations
Malmo
The management of the Freeport has been entrusted by the city to the
Malmo Free Port Conpany, which also carries out all work in the freepo
Owing to the quite modern equipment and excellent facilities of the port
the company is in a position to charge exceedingly low rates for the
work effected. Shipping is facilitated because vessels can enter the
Freeport, discharge and load their cargoes without any Customs control,
which means a saving of time as compared with the traffic in a so-called
customs port, where customs inspection and other formalities have to be
carried out before the goods can be discharged. Suitable offices and
warehouses can be acquired within the area of the Freeport, where goods
can be unpacked, sorted, blended, and makked without any Customs inspec-
tion. Inside the Freeport the goods are outside the territory of the
Customs Authorities. Faulty goods can be returned without any customs
formalities. Capital need not be unnecessarily tied up in customs fees,
for goods can remain in the Freeport area'for any length of time and the
owner is not called on to pay customs fees and duty until the goods are
removed after customs clearance. This may often prove to be a great
advantage, If goods are stored in the customs harbor for more than 15
days without being cleared through the customs, the owner has to pay a
penalty, so-called respite payment and after 30 days the goods are for-
cibly sold at auction. Goods stored in the Freeport, however, may re-
main there for any length of time without being entered at the Customs,
As a rale, money can be raised on goods warehoused in the Freeport. A
special advantage offered by Malmo Free Port is that no harbor dues are
paid on &pods, provided they arrive and leave by water, for business
in Sweden or abroad it is especially convenient and safe to have their
goods handled by the Free Port Company, which is entirely responsible

Four major Swiss freeport companies in March 1953' placed restrictions
on the use of freeporta in Switzerieed. These companies of Geneva,
Easel, Chiaseo4 and: Zurich addressed a confidential letter to a num-
ber of forwarding companies involved in Fast-West trade transactions
etating the following:
a. Consignments leaving the freeports may no linger be dispatched
giving the freeport address as consigner. The original
consignor must always- be given,
b. nld markings on cases' may not be obliteratedd on freeport
premises but must: be shown in addition to any- new markings
put on.
c. .epacking of goods may no longer be undertaken on freeport
premises.

B. Freeport Regulations
1. A freeport was established in Latakia according to the i'linistry
of Finance, Decree #386 of 28 August 1952, The zone is administered
by the Latakia fort Company in compliance with customs' rules
and regulations in force. Qoods imported into the free customs'
zone are not subject to the import and export regulations normally
applied by the Ministry of National Economy. (Damascus D-243,
22 Octooer 1952, UNCLASUFIED)
2. Damascus has a free zone. According to insurance sources,
Syrian authorities had the following plane in June 1953:
a. To extend the free zone to cover 100,000 square meters.
b. To include two zones - namely, an international Free Zone
and a zone for commercial warehouses, exhibition halls for
machinery, carpets, and automobiles.
c. 1:o include small industries in the latter zone.
d. To provide soon a railway line which will connect the Free
Zone with the railway from beirut to Anman.
ihe purpose of the Free Zone is to encourage the transit of goods to
Ira% Kuwait, Jordan, and Arabia.
