With reference to rrgr letter lo.K'')/Zh% di ted fhr
November 1952 on the subject of the levy of Customs duty on
oi * 1 stores of the Imperial and Intf lonal Corinunica
tions Limited, I hiive the honour to observe that Customs duty
is "'till being levied at Charbar in accordance with instruc
tions from the Customs authorities at Bander Abbas. I an not
able to find out what these instructions ere but presumably
the reason for the levy of the duty is that permits for imports
do not soecifically state that the import is to be free of L duty
although according to the Telegraph Agreement official stores
are exempt from Customs duty. In this connection I beg to
invite your attention to Chancery letter ho.122-2-75 dated the
50th December 1952.
2. If there is any likelihood of the Persian Government re
funding Customs duty so far paid I propose sending in a claim
as soon as the Imperial and International Communications Ltd.,
furnish roe with the particulars of Customs duty etc. paid up
