This treaty was composed of two texts: the first was a general treaty of 38 articles dealing with the status of consuls, and their privileges and their freedom of movement, as well as the settling of British subjects in the country.

The second text was a treaty of commerce with 8 articles. The most important was Article 6, which set the customs tariffs at 10%. The treaty abolished the Makhzen monopoly and definitively opened trade in Morocco.
