This file contains a small amount of correspondence concerning a request made through the Persian Gulf Political Residency in Bahrain by the Secretary to the Senior Naval Officer in the Persian Gulf for a brief list of dutiable goods and customs regulations for Persian Gulf ports. The request is made in the context of reported instances of smuggling by personnel from British ships. The Political Agent and Consul at Muscat responds to the request with a list of various goods imported into Muscat, ranging from cereals to medicines, along with their respective customs tariffs.
