i’MtSlA—APPENDIX NO. Vil—1828.
XXXVU
Article 3.
In order to secure to the commerce
of the respective subjects the ad
vantages which form the subject of
the foregoing stipulations, it is agreed
that the merchandize imported into
Persia or exported from that King
dom by Kussian subjects, and in like
manner the produce of Persia im
ported into Kussia by Persian sub
jects either by the Caspian Sea or by
the frontier land between the two
States, as well as Kussian merchan
dize which Persian subjects might ex
port from the Empire by the same
routes, shall be liable as heretofore
to a duty of five per cent, levied once
for all at their entrance or exit, and
shall not thereafter be subjected to
the payment of any other customs
duty. If Russia should deem it neces
sary to make new customs regula
tions and new tariffs, she neverthe
less engages even in that case not to
increase the duty of five per cent,
mentioned above.
Article 4 .
If Russia or Persia should be in
volved in war with another Power,
the respective subjects shall not be
prohibited from passing with their
merchandize through the territories of
the high contracting parties in order
to proceed to the states of the said
Power.
Article 5.
Seeing that, according to the exist
ing usages in Persia, it is difficult for
foreign subjects to find houses, ware-
rooms or proper places for the storage
of their merchandize to let, it is per
mitted to Russian subjects in Persia
Article 3.
Afin d’assurer au commerce des sujets
respectifs les avantages qui font 1’objet
des stipulations anterieures, il est con-
venu, que les marchandises importees en
Perse ou exportees de ce Royaume par
les sujets Russes, et pareillement les
productions de la Perse importees en
Russie par les sujets Persans, soit par
la Mer Caspienne, soit par la frontiere
de terre entre les deux Etats, de meme
que les marchandises Russes que des
sujets Persans exporteraient de PEmpire,
par les memes voies, seront soumises,
comme par le passe, a un droit de cinq
pour cent pergu une fois pour toutes a
leur entree ou a leur sortie, et ne seront
assujetties ensuite au payement d’aucun
autre droit de douane. Si la Russie
jugeait necessaire d’arreter de nouveaux
reglements de douane et de nouveaux
tarifs, elle s’engage neanmoins a ne pas
hausser, meme dans ce cas, le droit ci-
dessus mentionne de cinq pour cent.
Article 4.
Si la Russie ou la Perse se trouvait en
guerre avec une autre Puissance, il ne
sera pas defendu aux sujets respectifs de
traverser avec ieurs marchandises le
territoire des hautes parties contractantes
pour se rendre dans les Etats de la dite
Puissance.
Article 5.
Attendu que d’apres les usages exis-
tants en Perse, il est difficile pour les
sujets etrangers de trouver a louer des
maisons, magasins ou emplacements pro-
pres au depot de leurs marchandises, il
est permis aux sujets Russes en Perse
