When buying a pure-bred goat, the buyer should get an assurance from the 

 seller that the goat is registered as a pure-bred, andLJhe seller should have the goat 

 transferred to the buyer's name on the books of the Canadian National Live Stock 

 Records. The same applies to the Foundation Stock ch. . 



IMPORTATION FROM U.S.A. 



On goats registered in the American Milch Goat Record Association as of pure 

 breeding there is no duty payable on importation into Canada. On goats which are 

 not pure-bred, even though registered in the A.M.<;.It.A.. there is a duty payable of 

 '25 per cent., and also, at present, an extra war tax of 7* per cent. 



When buying pure-bred goats in the United States, the buyer should get the 

 seller to have the animal transferred on the books of the A.M.G.R.A. to his name, 

 and on receipt of the registration certificate and completed transfer he should send 

 it to the Accountant of the National Live Stock Records at Ottawa, and ask for an 

 import certificate, enclosing 50 cents for transfer of registration to Canadian records 

 and 10 cents for the import certificate. His papers will be returned to him together

with the import certificate, which is necessary before animals can be allowed in free 

 <>f duty. As the importer will have to pay duty if he has not the necessary import 

 certificate, he should arrange to have everything ready so that he can produce same 

 when the animal arrives. 



In the case of pure-bred stock also, the shipper's invoice should bear on its face 



the following certificate : " I hereby certify that the above-mentioned 



is [or are] of pure breeding, and is [or are] to be used for the 

 improvement of stock.

Three copies of the invoice duly signed by the shipper should be sent ahead of 

 the shipment, as the Customs authorities may make trouble if they are not produced 

 and charge extra 25 per cent, on the duty.
