Translation of a letter No.R/5/593, dated
the SSth Jamad al Awwal 1356 (3.8.3?) from His Highness
th© of Kuwait, to the Political A^eat, Kuwait,
/I
In reply to your letter No,C-186-A of the
21st July 1937, enclosing the Trade regulations between
Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, I wish to inform you that the
only point which is not clear to me is that which Is
contained in Article 1(a) about the word "Caravan”,
Therefore I would like to know its meaning, or that I
may be considered to have agreed, only if it means that
every party leaving Kuwait and possessing manifests,
registered in the respective departments, ana of which a «e
copy has been forwarded to the Saudi Trade Agent before
tiis consignors leave Kuwait territory, will be
acknowledged as a caravan without hesitation on <uiri'v&l
at the Saudi Arabian frontier and allowed to pass, and
if there is any necessity for reference it can be made
later through official channels.
g # The word "Caravan” in Article 1 is understood
by us to mean including cars.
3 . Naturally travellers must have In their
possession som provisions for their own use whether
by land or sea and it is well toown that this is exempt
, oirAtmti and from inclusion in the manifest,
from customs revenue anu
The frontier officials can Judge for themselves whether
such provisions represent the normal requirements for
the journey. of yQur
