Hi-, //here may details be found as to what con-
stitutes "removal effects of private persons"? Do
t
printed regulations on the subject exist?
In reply to III. From the Tariff lav/ itself it
must be gathered v/hat is understood by "removal ef
fects" . They include: used household utensils and
effects, used manufacturing implements and tools i.e.,
as the new Tariff Law puts it generally, "all used ar
ticles destined for the personal use of settlers."
(Compare the remarks made above in.reply to I).
Printed regulations mentioning the objects included
under the head, do not exist; the official list an
nexed to the Customs Tariff requests, under "removal
effects", reference to the wording of the law. Some
guidance is given in the declaration of the Prussian
Minister of Finance of October 26th, 1895 printed in
the Appelt-Behrend comnentary P.11, Note 27. Accord
ing to this by "effects" are to be understood in the
main all movable articles, and as a rule at most a
few groups of things (e.g.
as "removal e ff e ct s".
cattle) cannot be reckoned
