HC Deb 06 December 1949 vol 470 c142W
Mr. S. Marshall

asked the Postmaster-General how far his regulations prescribe the charging of Customs Duty and Purchase Tax on goods bought by British troops in Navy, Army and Air Force Institute canteens in Berlin and sent home as presents.

Mr. Glenvil Hall

I have been asked to reply. Goods bought by British troops in N.A.A.F.I. canteens in Berlin and sent home as presents or otherwise are subject to the ordinary Customs charges, except that gift post parcels sent home by them which do not exceed 10s. in total value and which do not include any tobacco, scent or liquor, are admitted free.
