d

) goods for which special accommodation or special conditions of temperature or humidity are provided,

(i) hazardous, inflammable, objectionable or fragile,

(ii) in a dirty or mouldy condition or infested by insects,

(iii) insufficiently protected by packing or in frail or leaking packages or containers,

(iv) of a kind for which special cleaning, treatment or fumigation of warehouses is necessary before, during or after storage,

(vi) inadequately or indistinctly marked,

(

g

) goods of a value of more than £200 per tonne or of a kind which in the opinion of the Board require an exceptional degree of care.

11. Where the Board undertakes Customs clearance, cartage, forwarding and agency, furnishing stock lists or movement records, transferring, giving bond, landing or shipping, coopering or such other sundry services as are ordinarily undertaken by warehousekeepers, it may charge therefor at the rates current at the Port of Dublin for such services, and in the absence of such current rates the Board may charge the cost to the Board of providing such services.
