I the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your despatch
No. 461 of August 25th (B 4287/64/34) regarding the importation of
teennisei material needed for the upkeep of the wireless stations at
present being operated by the Imperial and International Communications
Company at Bushire and Henjm.
S. I agree th<*t it would probably be quite easy to import such
material «a might be necessary for this purpose when importing similar
material for the ©able stations. Although the Telegraphs Agreement
signed on February 13th makes no mention of the wireless stations,
there is no doubt that they are, for as long ss the company operates
them, integral parts of the system of communication maintained by the
company, with the approral of the Persian Government on Persian soil*
Accordingly, if it were only s question of securing permission to
import the material tinder the Trade Monopoly Lav or similar kegle-
Ivtion, I should have little hesitation in recommending that it should
be imported as cable material.
3. The question is unfortunately eomplleated by the fast that the
material imported by the company for the use of the cable stations
is imported free of duty under the terms of the Telegraphs Agreement,
which will presumably soon be in force. Any wireless material would
consequently have to be imported free of duty sleo, if the difference
between it and sable material were not to be disclosed, and would thus
u f 'be company to benefit financially at the expense of the Persian
Gove nment in a matter not provided for in any agreement, written or
un-ritten. Although I consider that morally the company are fully
entitled to this benefit, seeing that the material Is needsd to keep

Correspondence concerning the importation of stores and equipment for wireless stations in the Persian Gulf The historical term used to describe the body of water between the Arabian Peninsula and Iran. (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.
