<SzV /?. Bullard to Mr. Eden.—(Received February 2l.)
(No. 26 E.) '22
Si r 5 r Tehran, Jmrdary 22, 1942.
WIT H reference to my despatch No. 24 E. of the 6th February, 1941, I hav e
the honour to transmit to you, under separate cover, one copy of the Tableau
General issued by the Persian Customs Administration for the Persian year 1319
(the 21st March, 1940, to the 20th March, 1941). A memorandum prepared by
the commercial secretary on the foreign trade of Persia during the period is
enclosed herewith.
2. Commercial imports show a considerable increase, principally due to
important imports from Germany and the resumption of trade with the U.S.S.R.
Duty-free imports again show a considerable decrease, chiefly owing to much
restricted requirements for the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company.
3. Commercial exports also show an increase, owing to the very large
purchases by Germany, whose share of the total exports amounted to 4t -8 per
cent. Oil shipments by the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company show a decrease of
1.233,750 tons.
4. Copies of this despatch and of the Tableau General are being sent to the
Department of Overseas Trade and to the Secretary to the Government of India
in the External Affairs Department.
I have, &c.
R. W. BULLARD.

About this item

Content

Copies of correspondence sent by the British Legation at Tehran (including Commercial Secretary F A G Gray, and Envoys Extraordinary & Ministers Plenipotentiary, Horace James Seymour, Reader William Bullard), distributing and providing comment on Persian [Iranian] foreign trade statistics, generally in the form of quarterly returns. Included amongst the correspondence are copies of statistical tables illustrating various aspects of Persian foreign trade, arranged under the headings of imports and exports, and further organised by commodities and trading partners. The papers provide illustration of changes in trading patterns into and out of Persia prior to and during the Second World War.

The file includes several copies of a Bulletin Mensuel des Douanes (Monthly Customs Bulletin), published by the Administrator General of Customs in the Government of Iran’s Ministry of Finance. The bulletins, which are written in French, cover the periods July/August 1942 (ff 69-78), October/November 1942 (ff 55-64), November/December 1942 (ff 39-48), December 1942/January 1943 (ff 28-38), January/February 1943 (ff 16-26), and June/July 1943 (ff 5-14).
