Your 4131, September 7, 6 p. m.
Mr. Currie has been informed that the Government of
Burma is exacting payment of full Burmese import duties (as
distinguished from transit tax) on lend-lease equipment to be
x
used in Burma for the assembly of lend-lease material for China

and on lend-lease; trucks imported into Burma for use in Burma
in the transportation of lend-lease material for China.
A specific instance has arisen with regard to the importa-
tion of a portable lend-lease assembly plant which arrived in
Rangoon on the steamer WARRIOR to be set up in Rangoon for the
exclusive purpose of assembling lend-lease trucks to be shipped
to China.
Please take this matter up at your earliest opportunity
ith the appropriate British authorities with a view to securing
customs exemption on such lend-lease materials. Please inform
the Department promptly by telegraph of the results of your repre-
sentations.
