Under present arrangements the proposal is to remove the import prohibition on bread on the 1st July, 1963. Bread would then be liable to import duty of 67½ per cent ad valorem—full rate—or 45 per cent ad valorem—preferential rate. In addition wrapped loaves would attract package duty of approximately one penny per 1b. weight.
