Description (What the record is about)
-
Registered files and other records of the Commercial Relations and Exports Department and its predecessors.
Subjects covered in the files include foreign trade issues and related negotiations; exchange control and payments agreements; imperial preference; most favoured nations; customs; navigation and shipping; tariffs; the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade; the organisation for European Economic Co-operation; merchandise and trade marks; League of Nations; conventions, commissions, conferences, and committees; and United Kingdom internal issues. The series also includes some records of the Standards, Weights and Measures Department.
The vast majority of files belong to the CRE or to the CRT prefix. Only 8 files survive from before 1902, and there are only two files from the 1912-1914 period. The deficiencies in the Commercial Department's records before 1902 can be partly remedied by use of the out-letters in BT 12
