Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

TOM A SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT ONTAINER traffic going into Germany is now costing more. Until about ur weeks ago, sea containers crossing the erman border were treated in the same ty as land containers. It appears, however, at this contravened German Customs gulations.

Now sea containers are to he treated part of the load and as such will require lcumentation as temporary imports for hich a caution must be paid. This amounts 25 Deutsch marks (about £2 5s.). About x of the larger container operators have ranged to pay a fixed caution for all of eir containers to the General Sicherheit n Hauptzollamt, Hamburg or Bremen-Ost. II German Customs houses at the ports id on the border have been advised that ese containers should pass freely without lotion.

One of the smaller container operators this country has suggested that this is scrimination and it does appear that ere is some justification for the sugges m. The effect of the implementation of is regulation is that container loads iginating in this country will cost more Lan those originating on the Continent. I ulerstand that no such regulation exists our ports.
