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).
