My Lord,—I have the honour to transmit to your Lordship, for the information of your Government, a copy of a despatch* received at the Foreign Office from the Acting British Consul at Rio de Janeiro, enclosing a summary of the new Brazilian regulations respecting consular invoices, published in the Diario Official of the 20th October, 1900.

2. I have to add that Her Majesty’s Minister at Rio has informed Lord Lansdowne by a telegram that the Brazilian Government do not propose to enforce the application of these regulations until the 1st January next.

I have, &c.,

J. CHAMBERLAIN.

Governor the Right Hon. the Earl of Ranfurly, K.C.M.G.

(No. 11, Commercial.)
British Consulate-General, Rio de Janeiro,
24th October, 1900.

My Lord,—It is already generally known that since the beginning of the current year there has been in existence a Brazilian law requiring importers of goods and merchandise into this country to present invoices authenticated by consular officers at ports of shipment, containing certain specified particulars for official use.

The enforcement of the law has been kept in abeyance pending the formulation of an adequate code of regulations, but this work has now been completed, and published in the Government organ, Diario Official, of the 20th instant.

Herewith I transmit a copy in the original, and regret that pressure of work prevents me from making a full translation at present; but I annex cutting from the Brazilian Review, in which the general principles observed by the regulations are summarised.

It will be noticed that the regulations are to be enforced at the various consulates fifty days after publication—that is, from the 20th instant—except in the case of India and New Zealand, for which countries an interval of sixty days is allowed.

I have, &c.,

The Marquess of Salisbury, K.G.

C. B. RHIND.

CONSULAR INVOICES.

THE new regulations, published in the Diario Official of the 20th instant, will come into force in all countries, excepting India and New Zealand, on the 10th December next, and in the different Customhouses here as invoices commence to arrive.

The general principles observed by these regulations are as follows:—

All merchandise, including specie and bullion, despatched from foreign countries for Brazilian ports must be accompanied by the corresponding consular invoices, with the exceptions enumerated in article 3.
