We are at a loss to understand why it should be necessary
to pay any duty, even under protest, for the Importation of the
Company’s Stores into Persia, when our agreement clearly states
vide Article L para £;- "fhe Persian Government will allow
free of Customs IXit^es and all other texes whatever the mater
ial and Apparatus necessary to the good working of the Land
lines Submarine Cables and C* ble .^tition".
On account of the bad health kept by our Staff at our
Branches in the
Persian Gulf
The historical term used to describe the body of water between the Arabian Peninsula and Iran.
?/e consider Medical stores also
should be allowed free of duty on the grounds that Medicines
are essentials for the good working of the Stations.
We trust you will be able to arrange with the Persian
Government to carry out the agreement; and kindly ask them to
wire their representatives in the Gulf authorising them to
release Company’s stores free of duty.

(at Bushire, Henjam [Jazīreh-ye Hengām], Jask, and Charbar [Chabahar]) operated by Imperial and International Communications Limited (I&ICL), amid the handover of the stations to the Persian Government. The file is a chronological continuation of papers found in Coll 28/26 ‘Relations with H.M.G Importation of Stores for I.E.T.D. Staff’ (IOR/L/PS/12/3423). The correspondence focuses on the payment of customs duty on materials imported by I&ICL, and efforts to negotiate an exemption of the payment of duty with the Persian Government. The file’s principal correspondents are: various representatives of I&ICL; HM’s Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary A diplomatic representative who ranks below an ambassador. The term can be shortened to 'envoy'. at Tehran; the Foreign Office.
