'■Te beg to refer you to your letter Ho.1065 of the
11th September 1928 giving us certain particulars regarding
Jeewani and expressing the opinion that certain requests of
merchants interested in the trade of Jee?;ani had teen made
probably with a view to the evasion of Customs Duties.
In this connection, we have again been approached by
the same merchants who are particularly anxious, for us to
arrange for our steamers to call at Jeewani at regular
intervals. T7e have been informed that the contract for the
collection of Customs Duty at Jeewani terminated at the
end of T'arch and that since the 1st April a 3/' duty on
import and export has been collected by a Customs Official
of the Khelat Government at Jeewani. The merchants i;ive us
to understand that as our steamers do not call at Jeewani,
they are obliged to send their goods via Gwadur, thereby
being- forced to pay a duty at C'wadur in addition to the
3;' at Jeewani. As a result of this t|iey state th.- t shippers
from and to Jeewani are at a serious disadvantage compared
to those at Gwadmr.
Ueshall be obliged if you will kindly let us knov/ as
soon as possible whether in your opinion the Company's
steamers' calling at Jeewani would adversely affect the
Customs collections at wwadur. As the Ahelat Government
appear to have established a proper Customs post at Jeewani,
we shall be glad to know whether this Customs post is
recognised by you and if you allow free transhipment a*
Gwadur on goods *to and frora Jeewani.
