Bh Majesty’s Secretary of State for India.
Fort William ; the 17th March, 1910.
My Lord,
We have the honour to report that the Consul for the Argentine
Republic at Calcutta recently requested that certain articles which were
imported by him for his official use might he exempted from the payment of
customs duty, on the ground that the British Minister is exempted by an order
issued in the “ Boletin Oficial ” of the Argentine Republic, dated the 29th
December 1909, from the payment of customs duty on goods imported by him
for his personal use. J
2. The request was allowed by us in this particular case, but as it is desir
able to arrive at a general ruling in the matter, we should be glad if Your
Lordship would kindly inform us what is the exact nature of the concession
granted by the Republic to British Consuls and whether His Majesty’s Govern
ment desire that a similar concession should be allowed in future to Consular
Officers of the Republic in Calcutta.
We have the honour to be,
My Lord,
Your Lordship’s most obedient, humble servants,
