Publication du Ministère des Finances en Prusse concernant la perception du péage sur l'Elbe concertée avec le gouvernement du Royaume de Saxe. En date du 39. Août 1835. (Pochhammer's Jahrbücher der Zollgesetzgebung und Verwaltung des deutschen Zoll- und Handelsvereins. Jahrg. 1836. H. II. S. 326.) Nach einer Verständigung mit der Königlich Sächsischen Regierung ist von jetzt an beim wechselnden Transit auf der Elbe und landwärts nur dann das vorbehaltene Ein Viertel des Elbzolles zu erheben, wenn die Einfuhr auf der Elbe erfolgt, wogegen diese Erhebung bei der Einfuhr landwärts wegfällt. Gegenstände, welche hiernach z. B. landwärts vom Auslande nach Dresden gelangen, dort eingeschifft werden, und direkt auf der Preussischen Elbe transitiren, haben in Dresden den tarifmässigen Durchgangszoll für gemeinschaftliche Rechnung, bei der Durchfuhr in Preussen aber keinen Elbzoll zu erlegen, sondern es kommt nur das Recognitionsgeld vom Fahrzeuge zur Erhebung. Umgekehrt findet derselbe Fall, in Sachsen statt, wenn die Gegenstände zu Lande oder auf anderem, als dem Elbwege nach Magdeburg gelangt sind, dort eingeladen und direkt durch Sachsen auf der Elbe nach Böhmen durchgeführt werden. Königlich Sächsischer Seits wird dagegen die Zurücknahme der Anordnung erfol gen, nach welcher bisher von Gegenständen, welche aus dem diesseitigen freien Verkehr abstammen, anscheinend aber ausländischen Ursprungs sind, wie z. B. Baumwolle, und direkt auf der Elbe durch Sachsen 1835 nach Böhmen gingen, Ein Viertel des jenseitigen Elbzolles erhoben worden. In ersterer Beziehung ist hierDach das Erforderliche alsbald zu verfügen. Berlin, den 29. August 1835. Finanz-Ministerium. 48.
