Samples not exceeding one pound in weight need
not be marked on importation. "When exposed for sale
in packages made up on the premises of a retailer they
are not required to bear an indication of origin. Other
pre-packed articles, however, such as Cartons, which
are packed before coming into the retailers' possession
are to be marked with letters of a certain size according
to the size of the package.
The provisions relating to the sale of these dried
fruits came into operation on the 21st June, 1929.
Part II. Imported Eggs in shell. On and after 21st April,
1929, all imported hen or duck eggs must be marked
on the shells with an indication of their origin, (that is
to say, the word FOREIGN, EMPIRE, or an indication
of the Country of origin as the case may be), in letters
not less than two millimetres (approximately one-twelfth
of an inch) in height. If an imported egg is preserved
it must be marked on the shell both with the indication
of origin and with the word " PRESERVED " unless it
has been preserved by cold or chemical storage, when it
need not be marked " PRESERVED.'
Part III. Imported Dried Eggs. The provisions dealing
with dried eggs came into force on 21st March, 1929.
They apply to packages of eggs when imported and to
packages of imported eggs when sold or exposed for
sale, whether wholesale or retail.
They only apply to pre-packed eggs, that is, to eggs
made up into packages before reaching the retailer and
not to eggs packed by the retailer on his premises.
Packages of imported dried eggs, if packed before
reaching the retailer, must be marked indelibly with an
indication of origin (the word FOREIGN, EMPIRE or
an indication of the Country as the case may be). The
marking is to be on the container or on a label securely
attached thereto, and on exposure for sale wholesale or
by retail is to be in plain block letters not less than onetwelfth
of an inch in height, when the greatest dimension
of the package does not exceed 6 inches, and not less
than one-eighth of an inch in height when the greatest
dimension exceeds 6 inches.
Part IV. Imported Oat Products. The expression " oat
products " means oat meal, rolled oats (but not crushed
or bruised natural oats), oat flour or groats.
This part of the Order extends to blends or mixtures
of oat products containing imported oat products and
blends must be marked in the manner described in the
Order even although they also contain oat products
produced in the United Kingdom.
