An Official Communication having been addressed by His Excellency Hang, the Comptroller of Maritime Customs at this Porte undersigned, Her Britannic Majesty's Consul, respecting certain modifications in the Tariff-rate of Durs Printed Goods, consisting of Brown and Blue Handkerchiefs and Chintzes of like inferior quality, the attached Translation is circulated for general information.
It will be seen that, on the representation of Her Majesty's Consul, His Excellency the Hoppo has agreed to class these coarse chiefs and Chintzes among the Unenumerated Articles, and to levy an ad valorem Duty of Five per Cent, instead of considering them as in the same class with the more expensive Handkerchiefs and Chintzes to which the Treaty Tariff had more especially reference, and making them liable to a Duty so heavy as to prove in many cases prohibitory.
His Excellency the Hoppo further agrees, that hereafter certain Dyed Cottons, named Kwei-hwa-poo, and Chay or Te-hwa-pe the Chinese, specimens of which are attached, ranging in Value from Three to Five or Six Taels, and about which frequent disputes have recently arisen, shall be admitted at a uniform Rate of Three Taels, and in like manner be classed among the Unenumerated Articles on which a Duty of Five per Cent ad valorem will be levied.
The arrangements proposed in regard to these Four Articles, being all in favour of the Importer, and a great improvement on the mode of assessing the Duties hitherto in practice, Her Majesty's Consul has informed His Excellency that the British Mercantile Community will be duly advised that these Duties, and no others, will be collected on the above specified Goods.
