Export Sellers Redwood Lumber and Arcata Redwood Company Sold Milfwork M.y Add 92J 5 Per 1000 To Hill-Davis Company

Sellers of redwood lumber and millwork may add $2.75 per 1,000 board feet to f.o.b. mill ceiling prices in all F.A.S. (free alongside ship) sales for export, rpgardless oi the class of buyer, the Office of Price Administration has announced.

This authorization became efiective January 14, 1946.

Up to this time, the addition, u'hich covers extra costs involved in assembling, srvitching, unloading, tallying, deck insurance and other expenses in F.A.S. sales, could be made only in such sales to the Lend-Lease Administration, British Air Commission, British Purchasing Commission, and other Government agencies or their contractors.

Permission to apply the addition in the past was authorized only in sales to those Government agencies because shipments rvere strictly controlled during the lvar, and could be made only to emergency users.

Since the end of the war. however. Lend-Lease and British Commissions have stopped buying redrvood lumber and milhvork, and export shipments again are going to foreign users to lvhom shipments rvere macle before the war.

The extra costs involved in F.A.S. shipments, OPA said, continue to be extra expense for the seller, and the present actiolr will give sellers in all export sales the sar.ne F.A.S. allowance they received previously on sales to Lencl-Lease and British Government agency purchasers.
