"The stone bearing the inscription that embodies the Customs Law of Asia ... was found at Ephesus in August 1976, and has become known as the 'Monumentum Ephesenum' ('the Monument from Ephesus')", preface.

This text transcribes, translates, and fully illustrates with photographs the inscription (more than 155 lines, in its damaged state) that carries the regulations drawn up over nearly two centuries for the customs dues of the rich province of Asia (western Turkey).

This paper focuses on the constitutions of Asian-Pacific States as sources of customs law. There are two types of norms of customs law in constitutions: direct regulations of customs law and constitutional principles of customs law. Regulation of the customs relations among states and international organizations is realized through the norms of international customs law, which is a branch of international public law. In this study, we investigate customs regulation in constitutions from the point of view of international law, focusing on the constitutional foundations of supranational regulation. The main objective of this paper is to analyse concrete examples of customs regulations in constitutions and the organizational and legal aspects of such regulations.
