I checked the Palestine Gazette of 1929 and found the following in the March 15, 1929 issue:
Customs Ordinance, no. 11 of 1929, signed by the High Commissioner on 15.3.1929. Section 7: "The vessels employed in the service of the Customs shall be distinguished from other vessels by such a flag as shall be described".
In the same issue there are regulations for the Customs
Ordinance and among them there is one concerning the Customs
flag: The Customs flag shall be the blue ensign defaced by a
white circle with the words "Palestine Customs" (no
illustration).
Nahum Shereshevsky, 30 June 1997
In 1926 the Customs Service applied for an ensign to identify
their launches. Since no badge had been prepared, the Admiralty
agreed on 27th July 1926 that the launches should fly a Blue
Ensign defaced in the fly by the words PALESTINE CUSTOMS on a
white circle.
