Prague, 21 November 1939. h9v 22. XI. 1939 Herm v. B u r g s d o r f. I would like to point out in the form of a house release that the protectorate tariff limit still exists and that as a result it is not allowed to import goods subject to customs duty from the territory of the Protectorate into the Old Kingdom. Although I am aware that the civil servants and employees in the office of the Reichsprotektor will not be able to take any action in this regard, there is the possibility that, with regard to the Christmas season, smaller consignments of convenience will be given to couriers, etc., for transit across the border. In the current strict control exercised at the border, I am concerned that even such favors will be omitted so that the reputation and reputation of the Office of the Imperial Protector in no way suffer any damage.
