Marks Act, 1926, relating to the marking of the following imported
produce:—
1. Fresh apples.

3. Eggs in shell (i.e., hen and duck eggs).
4. Dried eggs.
5. Currants, sultanas and raisins.
6. Oat products (i.e., oatmeal, rolled oats, oat flour and groats).
7. Honey.
8. Frozen or Chilled Salmon or Sea Trout.
9. Butter.
10. Dead Poultry (i.e., ducks, fowls (excluding guinea fowl), geese or

The Orders apply to these goods on sale and exposure for sale wholesale,
as well as by retail, and generally on importation also ; but this notice

For the requirements as to marking imported Bacon and Ham (with or
without rind) all persons concerned are referred to a separate Notice which
may be obtained on application to the address indicated at the foot of
page 55.
Indication of Origin.
These Orders require the above goods to be marked, if imported from
foreign countries, with the word "Foreign" ; or, if imported from His
Majesty's Dominions, with the word " Empire." In either case, however,
the goods may, at the option of the seller, be marked with a definite
indication of the country in which they were made or produced (e.g.,
"Danish," "Produce of Canada," etc.), instead of with the words
" Foreign " or " Empire."

On exposure for sale by retail the following goods are required to be
marked with a show ticket, clearly visible to intending purchasers, bearing
the indication of origin in letters not less than half an inch in height: —
