, advising the public to take advantage of this and saying that,
provided the nakhudas arrive with goods ar- detailed in the
manifest, the Basrah Customs Department will be able to afford
considerable facilities for (jaick clearance.
As soon as people find t ey benefit, they will, I think,
adopt the plan. Before issuing the notice I write to say that
many boats sell part of the cargo at ports en route if prices
happen to be good; would the Customs Department accept the
manifest if amounts sold en route were certified for on the
back of the manifest by the Qatif or Kuwait Customs or, in case
of a smaller place, by the local Amir or Shaikh.
