- Abstract: This file contains correspondence between British officials (primarily between the Political Agent in Kuwait, Major Tom Hickinbotham and the Political Resident, Lieutenant-Colonel Charles Geoffrey Prior) regarding the rate at which British merchants active in Kuwait were liable to pay customs dues in the country. This correspondence also discusses broader issues related to customs dues and the British presence in Kuwait.The majority of the correspondence is between British officials but the file also contains a limited amount of correspondence between the Ruler of Kuwait, Shaikh Ahmad al-Jaber al-Sabah and the Political Agency in Kuwait that is in Arabic (accompanied by English translations).The file also contains a small amount of correspondence concerning the entry requirements (into Kuwait) for nationals of Syria, Lebanon and Egypt (folios 42-44).Physical description: Foliation: the foliation sequence (used for referencing) commences at the front cover with 1, and terminates at the inside back cover with 49; these numbers are written in pencil, are circled, and are located in the top right corner of the recto side of each folio. An additional foliation sequence is present in parallel between ff 2-41; these numbers are also written in pencil, but are not circled. A previous foliation sequence, which is also circled, has been superseded and therefore crossed out.
