New Quota System For Silk Piece Goods Imports
A new country quota system will regulate non sterling silk piece goods imports from January 1. Licences will reflect the licensee’s imports from each country for the year ended June 30, 1939, with a March quarter cap of one quarter of that year’s base imports. The goal is to allocate by country rather than apply a blanket reduction across all non sterling imports.
