Article 1.
The importation of salt and tobacco in any shape or form whatsoever, the

be 75 per cent, of its net value. This duty once levied no further dues of any
kind shall be leviable in Turkey.
Article 3.
The 75 per cent, shall be leviable in accordance with a tariff to be agreed upon
by the two parties.
From the beginning of the month of Naisan in the year 1291 of the Turkish
era to a period of three months, the amount of the customs dues on tumbaku
levied at the Customs Houses of Erzerum, Bagdad, and Jeddah, together with
the minimum amount of tumbaku brought to the aforesaid places in the above-
mentioned period shall be calculated, and the mean average of the result of that
calculation shall be adopted as the basis of the first tariff of the convention.
Tumbaku which shall not have reached during the aforesaid period shall be valued
in accordance with the lowest price of its kind during a period of a year prior to
the above-mentioned three months. The tariff shall remain in force for a period
of ten years from its establishment. Shoi*ld one of the Contracting parties request
a change or alterations therein during a period of three months prior to the ex
piration of the agreed period it shall be renewed. Should no such request be made

each ten years, should no request for an alteration have been made by one party
or the other, it shall be the rule that the tariff remains in force for a further seven
years. For the regulation of the tariff, in accordance with the aforesaid basis,
and for the determination of the depreciations, such as “ mokture,” “ weight of
bags,” the reduction of which is customary, after the establishment of this Con
vention a Commission shall be formed, the members of which shall endeavour
to complete their work previous to the commencement of the period when tne
