COMMERCE 1167 The receipts from tobacco were: in 1897, £E1,044,780; in 1898, £E1,080,669 ; in 1899, £E1,068,497. Of the total imports in 1899 the value of £E9,945,165, and of the exports the value of £E15,068,722 passed through the port of Alexandria. Goods imported into Egypt are examined by experts, who determine their value either according to the purchase price in their original country as indicated on the invoices, plus the cost of transport, freight, insurance, &c., or according to the wholesale price at the port of disembarkation, minus a discount of 10 per cent. In order, however, to facilitate customs operations, the administration, in communication with the merchants interested, establishes, on the same basis as above, periodical tariffs for such articles of importation as cotton-goods, indigo, coal, petroleum, rice, flour, metals, sugar, &c. Iu the statistics of the Custom House, the values are estimated according to the estimated price which served as the basis for the payment of duty now fixed at 8 per cent, ad valorem, without taking into account the amount of that duty. As regards exports, there are tariffs for nearly all of them, estimated monthly for some of them, quarterly for others, m the same manner as the tariffs of imports are established. The quantities recorded in statistics are thosedeclared by the merchants and controlled by the Customs. The origin of imports and destination of exports are declared by importers and exporters, and controlled, as much as possible, by the searchers and appraisers of the Custom House. The statistics of the Customs only give general commerce. In order to know the amount of special trade deduction must be made from the total of imports of the value of goods re-exported, which, however, has only an inconsiderable importance. In fact the value of these goods amounts to about three or four hundred thousand pounds, one half of which is due to tobacco re-exported in the form of cigarettes. The transit trade is of no importance. At the utmost its value amounts to 600,0001. per annum, nine-tenths of which represents the value of coal imported at Port Said to be re-exported on payment of a duty of 1 per cent, ad valorem. Goods temporarily deposited or re-shipped are not included in the "transit." From the efforts made by the Customs authorities to ensure accuracy, and from the method of valuation employed, the .commercial statistics of Egypt may be regarded as comparatively exact. The subjoined statement shows the total value of the imports from Egypt into the United Kingdom, and of the exports of British produce and manufactures to Egypt, in five years, according to the Board of Trade returns :— 1895 1 ■ - ■ - ■ 18% j 1897 1898 \ 1899 j £ £ ! £ £ ' £ Imports from Egypt into U.
