Exemption from Duties Ended for Foreign Ministers
A court declaration ends customs exemption for foreign ministers after this year. It cites abuse by envoys who imported large wine, linen, and snuff quantities, though ambassadors like Baron de Breitlach and the Earl of Hyndford are exempted. The measure aims to curb privileges and enforce duties at the port.
