My Lord,

WITH reference to your Lordship's Circular, Commercial, of the 22nd January last, and my despatch No. 10, Commercial, of the 27th ultimo, I have the honour to report that at present the Peruvian Government continue to charge the import duties fixed by the Customs tariff on all sugared products mentioned in the Brussels Convention, at the same rate as previous to the signing of the said Convention; which is a surtax as compared with the present untaxed manufacture of similar articles in the country. On the other hand, it is expected that a law will shortly come into force levying a consumption tax on all sugar sold for use in the country, which will in a certain way be a set off against the importation duty.

I have, &c.
