The Undersigned has the honour to inform the
British Charge d*Affaires, Mr. G. W. Buchanan, in an
swer to his comnunication of June 15th last, that the
regulation contained in §3 of the Resolution of the
Federal Council of November 6th 1902 with respect to
the freedom of duty of Coats-of-arms, flags and other
objects sent by Foreign Governments to their appointed
Representatives in Germany for official use, included
in its application the Consular Representatives.
Such articles despatched by the British Govern
ment to their diplomatic and Consular Representatives
can accordingly be admitted duty free in Germany, if
reciprocity is guaranteed on the side of Great Britain,
that is if similar articles sent for the use of the
representatives of the German Empire in Great Britain
and Ireland, as well as in the British Colonies, re
ceive at their destination free admission. If an
assurance to this effect could be given by the British
Government, the necessary steps would be taken here
for the admission unaccompanied by the levying of
duty
