All tobacco and merchandise imported from Persia are subject to an ad valorem duty of 10 per cent which duty is payable at the Custom House. Persons importing goods from Persia will observe the following rules:

A declaration of the goods imported should be transmitted to the custom authorities either at Bagdad, Kanakin, or Mendali.

If the goods should pass via either of the routes leading to the above mentioned places, the owners of the goods will communicate, in writing, with the first Political Officer they come into contact with on their journey, and a declaration will be made to him. The Political Officer after having obtained a guarantee from the owner, will issue a pass permitting the passage of the merchandise to Bagdad and its delivery to the Custom House for the collection of duty.

The owners of the merchandise are permitted, after having paid the customs duty, to forward the whole or part of the same to any place within the territories occupied by His Britannic Majesty’s Government, on notifying the Customs authorities to the effect, and obtaining a free pass declaring that the duty had been paid in full and that there is no objection to the forwarding of the merchandise.

A pass should always accompany the goods stating that it is intended to pay the duty in Bagdad, or a pass declaring that the duty has been paid in full. Without either one or the other of these passes, the merchandise will be liable to seizure and confiscation.

Dated Baghdad, April 15, 1918, Collector of Customs.67
