Profile of the group: Customs
No source read describes Gumruk Makbuz Memur by itself, so this is the profile of its group of job titles.
Officials of the customs (gümrük, rüsumat).1 From 1860 (1277) all customs were run by officials appointed by the state (emanet) instead of by tax farmers (iltizam),2 and from 1870 (1287) by the Rüsumat Emaneti, with seventeen directorates in the provinces and inspectors to check that the work followed the rules.3 In May 1885, for example, new posts of overseer (mubassır), appraiser (muhammin), searcher (arayıcı), clerk, guard (kolcu), quay official and manifest official, and even of porter, were opened in the customs directorates of Salonica, Beirut, Çanakkale and Preveze and in the customs superintendencies (nezaret) of Crete and Erzurum.4
History
A regulation of 1891 set the procedures of the customs: the hours at which goods could pass, loading, unloading and transit, where and how goods were examined, ships' manifests, and the keeping of goods whose duty was unpaid in stores and bonded warehouses.5
