Applications from missions for exemption from custom duties intended for their chanceries, or for the personal use of those members of their staff who enjoy such exemption, stamped and signed by the head of mission, must be submitted to the State Protocol for verification before being submitted to the customs authorities.
The application should specify the articles in question, i.e. nature of goods, quantity, value, country of purchase and supplier as well as information as to consignee (with regard to motor cars, information should include the chassis and engine numbers as well as the make and the year), as well as indicate through which Customs Control Point the goods will be imported.
If goods received exempt from customs duties are sold to a buyer not entitled to engage in duty free import of goods, the duties and taxes must be paid as required by the regulations in force at the time of the customs declaration.
