5- The Conservator of Forests shall cause to be reviewed the 

 measurements specified in the preceding paragraph at the end of June 

 each year and shall notify the Comptroller of Customs not later than 

 the end of July annually what alterations, if any, shall be made for 

 the ensuing year in the aforegoing cubical dimensions for the purpose 

 of duty assessment. Any such change shall take effect from the day 

 following that on which the Comptroller of Customs actually receives 

 official notice of amended average measurements as calculated in the 

 Forestry Department. 



6. For the purpose of ascertaining or test-checking the cubical 

 dimensions of timber for exportation, the following procedure shall 

 be followed. The measuring tape shall be passed round the middle of 

 the log, and at right angles to its length, and this measurement shall 

 be recorded in feet and inches. The length of the log shall then be 

 measured and recorded in feet and inches. The cubical volume of the 

 log shall then be ascertained in accordance with the following formula : 

 Middle girth 2 X Length.

 If for any reason the measuring tape cannot be passed round the 

 middle of the log it shall be passed successively round the two ends 

 of the log and the mean girth calculated by averaging such measure- 

 ments. 



7. No timber shall be exported overland or by any inland water 

 from the Colony except between the hours of 6 a.m. and 6 p.m., or 

 except through such stations as provided by law for the importation 

 of goods. 



8. No timber shall be exported overland or by any inland water 

 from the Colony until the duty thereon has been previously paid.
