acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 22nd
in which you enquire whether any special
Customs privileges are accorded hy the German Gov
ernment to His Majesty’s Consular Officers in Germany
and the German Colonies.
I am to state, in reply, that it would appear
from information which has been obtained semi-offi-
cially from His Majesty’s Embassy at Berlin, and com-
s
muni cated to your Department, that all foreigners
settling permanently in Germany are permitted to im
port their used household effects free of duty, and
that "Consuls de Carriers" being treated as if they
were "settlers", obtain this privilege, in practice,
but that no special Regulations exist on the subject.
I am to add that these facts, taken in conjunc
tion
