The greatest danger wliicli threatens to ruin the prospects of British
merchants is the intention of His Highness to levy 25 % duty on exports and
imports.
Exports. —Hates, dry and wet, are the chief products of export business in
this country. Large amounts are advanced by British merchants to the
growers of dates, who in return bring their dates to merchants for selling and
thus British merchants recover part of their outstandings and earn some profits
thereby. Now when such cargo is put under 25 % extra tax from the tribes
men, they will not bring their products to British merchants and avoid the
extra duty by smuggling their products through some out of the way ports, as
it is an admitted fact that His Highness is unable to guard the whole (of) the
coast line. The interior people can manage to charter sailing vessels, they
have their agents in Indian and Bed Sea ports ; so they can easily send ’ their
goods directly and thus the British merchants will be ruined by this extra
duty.
Imports.—1 l\\q same remarks can be applied to the import traclfe. His
Highness being unable to blockade the coast line and owing to the whnt of
Customs organisation, goods from Debai and other ports are constantly smuggled
by the coast line, from whence the interior people can get their supplies. 0
Under the circumstances, it can be seen that British merchants, nearly all
of whom are law-abiding people, will not be able to trade, and the trade and
profit will, undoubtedly, go to the Arab smugglers.
The new season begins from the first week of July and if the matter is not
adjusted in this month, the merchants will suffer heavy losses.
We shall be highly obliged if your honour will forward a copy of this
which is enclosed herewith to Major S. G. Knox, Bcsident at Bushire, for his
information.
We beg to remain,
