declarations, but spirits are gauged and measured. At Gambia and Gold Coast the cost<br />
of freight, insurance, and packages is added to the invoice value of imports, and the cost<br />
of packages is added to the declared value of exports. The imports into Gambia.are only<br />
those for consumption. The countries of origin and destination are those shown by the<br />
shipping documents.<br />
