SBrY June , 1954*
In reply to your despatch Ho. 277 of May Slst,
I hare the honour to report that I received on April 17th
last a note from the Minister for Foreign Affairs in
anever to *y request for a refund of the duties paid by
the Imperial and International Communications company's
stations on official stores. His Kxeellency Kazemi
requested that he be furnished with the actual receipts
("acquits d'entrle) given to the Company by the customs
authorities. I have requested the Political Keaident in
the
Persian Gulf

to obtain these but some little time is
bound to elapse before they can be collected from the
various stations.
2* Meanwhile, Colonel Fowle has forwarded to me
the acquits d’entrde for two consignments of stores imported
by the station at Charbar on December 24th 1932 and January
19th 1953. Ho duty was actually paid on these stores which
were imported under letters of guarantee, but duty is being
demanded so I have requested the Acting Minister for
foreign Affairs to see xhat this demand is withdrawn.
3* In regard to the future I have, after tedious
semi-official negotiations, come to an arrangement with
the Ministry for Foreign Affairs by which the customs
stations concerned receive instructions not to levy duty on
any official stores. All attempts to persuade the Depart
ment of Commerce to mark the licences '•free of duty* failed;
