datos imported by stomor not to porait the consignoo to 01 oar
then till ho has produced a similar certificate# poaeibly
Omanis may try and export via Dobai or other ports on the
Truoial Coast* but in the majority of cases X fancy tho cost
of oarrlags would Tj ® prohibitive, and in any oass if the

as would also the poaaibility of Onanis shipping to ports on
