N.B. 

(a) Generally speaking articles which have been manufactured, assembled, etc. in China from duty-paid foreign materials, and goods which have been blended, diluted, or the original condition of which has been otherwise altered since importation, assume the status of native products and are charged Duty on export. 

(b) Chinese factory products moved within China shall receive the same Duty treatment as is now accorded to ordinary native goods, that is, Chinese factory products when sent anywhere in China shall be liable as privileged goods to single Duty, but only if non-privileged goods in similar circumstances would be liable to Interport duty. Goods liable to consolidated tax remain unaffected by the above ruling.
