背景
1875年(同治十四年)2月21日,英国人马嘉理在云南被当地人杀死,演变成外交事件。清廷令海关总税务司赫德斡旋,1876年8月21日北洋大臣李鸿章与英国公使威妥玛在山东芝罘(即今烟台)谈判,9月13日,双方签约。英国取得进入云南及西藏特权。
条约共三端一则:
• 第一则:清廷查明滇案,惩处失职人员,并向英国道歉、赔偿。
• 第二则:规定英国驻京公臣及领事官与清廷往来礼仪平等及两国审办案件各官交涉事宜
• 第三则:清廷增加通商口岸,订立通商章程及鸦片税则,另议专则。英国得由北京经四川入藏至印度,清廷需妥为照料保护。
包括清政府对马嘉理事件及以前中英之间的案件各赔偿15万两白银;洋货在中国内陆免收厘金;增加开放宜昌﹑芜湖﹑温州﹑北海等为通商口岸;以及正式遣使道歉。这成为中国外交史上派出驻外长期代表的开始。
1885年清廷派遣曾纪泽前往伦敦签订中英烟台条约续增专条,中英文共14页,规定鸦片进口至中国只能缴纳进口税30两及厘金最多80两,此后在中国各处行销不必再缴纳其他税捐,是清廷丧失外国货物在内地徵收税捐的滥觞。约文仍存于台北外双溪国立故宫博物院。

The
Chefoo Convention, known in Chinese as the
Yantai Treaty, was a treaty between
Qing China and Great Britain, signed by
Sir Thomas Wade and
Li Hongzhang in Zhifu (now a district of Yantai) on 21 August 1876. The official reason for the treaty was to resolve the "Margary Affair," but the final treaty included a number of other items.
China regards the Chefoo Convention as an "unequal treaty".

Contents
The convention consisted of sixteen articles and was divided into three sections. The first section dealt with the resolution of the Margary Affair, calling for the punishment of the people implicated in the murder of Augustus Raymond Margary the year before and stipulating that an indemnity be paid to Margary's relatives. The second section dealt with official intercourse between the two empires and specified the extraterritorial privileges of British subjects in China. The final section dealt with trade, prohibiting the levying of the Lijin in the treaty ports, outlawing other forms of taxes on foreign goods, and opening a number of new treaty ports.
One practical result of the treaty was that the official mission of apology to Britain, led by Guo Songtao, became a permanent diplomatic mission in Britain, opening the way for a permanent foreign representation of China.
Ratification
The Chefoo Convention was ratified immediately by the Qing government, but was not ratified by Britain until July 1885.
