Monsieur Eourman was Director of Customs in Nasiri till June when he

place was filled by Monsieur Bouckaert
who remained in charge till the close of the year under report.
In the commencement of the year Messrs. Lynch Brothers notified mer
chants that they would be charged warehouse fees for goods remaining on their
seifs for a longer period than seven days. This notification was necessitated by
the fact that merchants had adopted the practice of not taking delivery of their
goods when, owing to closure of the road or scarcity of transport, they were
unable to forward up country. Messrs. Lynch Brothers' 4 seif' is, by an arrange
ment with the Customs Department, considered a bonded warehouse and the
merchants by leaving their goods there avoided paying customs' dues.
The Customs Department insisted, under their regulations, in charging
ground rent as before on uncleared goods and the merchants thus found them
selves called upon to pay two ground rents on the same goods.
In October a meeting was held, at which the chief merchants, the Director
of Customs and Messrs. Lynch's agent were present, to discuss the matter and it
was decided that the question should be referred to Tehran with the recommen
dation that the Customs should in future charge half of the ordinary ground
rent fees and Messrs, Lynch Brothers an equal amount : thus making the total
fees payable by merchants on uncleared goods the same as at other Gulf ports.
No reply had been received to the Customs Director's recommendations at the
close of the year.
No friction was experienced between the Customs Department and British
firms during the year under report.
