Interpretation might be justified as regards favours, privileges, and immunities, in matters of Commerce and Navigation. But the 3rd Article of the Treaty proceeds to stipulate that as regards "imports and Exports" no higher duties shall be applied to British, than to any other produce.

The 4th Article of the Treaty therefore, which specially related to Customs duties, contains no stipulations as to corresponding Concessions, as those contained in the 3rd Article, and it is also to be observed that whilst this 3rd Article is totally silent as regards "goods", it deals exclusively with favours, privileges, or immunities granted to the "subjects or citizens" of the contracting parties, the Convention between the United States and the Hawaiian State, refers exclusively to "goods" without reference to the parties importing them, whether they are the subjects or citizens of the Contracting parties or of any other State. There would therefore appear to be no favour, privilege, or immunity granted by this Convention.
