Private shipments may still reach Dutch ports on neutral ships, but not via Holland-America.

May Extend Stamp Tax Threatens Loan Associations

The interpretation differs from the revenue service and an assistant AG who read the 1839 law similarly, and protests may lead to a departmental ruling from Justice or McAdoo.
