C.) four hundred German crowns shall henceforth cease on British ships, which has hitherto been levied on all merchant ships when they landed cargoes.

That the export duty on the British trade shall be hereafter 24 per cent., the same as the French and not 32 as hitherto, and that the import duty shall be the same to the English and all their subjects, and no more shall be levied than 2 per cent. upon imports and exports. This Article is expressly granted by separate Firman from His Highness as a particular mark affairs (trade) at the Bunder of Mokha, especially the natives of Surat. If there be Mussulmen among them, and disputes should happen between them, and any of them may desire (to have) the law (Mussulman), no opposition is to be made to them (meaning to their wishes).
