Depositary : Secretary-General of the United Nations

ECONOMIC COMMISSION FOR EUROPE INLAND TRANSPORT COMMITTEE CUSTOMS CONVENTION ON THE TEMPORARY IMPORTATION FOR PRIVATE USE OF AIRCRAFT AND PLEASURE BOATS and PROTOCOL OF SIGNATURE

PREAMBLE

THE CONTRACTING PARTIES,

HAVING REGARD TO the Agreement providing for the Provisional Application of the Draft International Customs Conventions on Touring, on Commercial Road Vehicles and on the International Transport of Goods by Road, done at Geneva on 16 June 1949, and in particular, to Article V of the Agreement, which provides that in the event that world-wide conventions dealing with the subject matter of the draft conventions provisionally applied by the Agreement “should be concluded, and upon their entry into force, any Government party to this Agreement, which becomes a party to one or more of those Conventions shall automatically be regarded as having denounced the present Agreement with respect to the Draft Convention or Conventions corresponding to any of those Conventions to which that Government has become a party”;

HAVING REGARD TO the Convention concerning Customs Facilities for Touring and the Customs Convention on the Temporary Importation of Private Road Vehicles, both done at New York on 4 June 1954;

CONSIDERING that unlike the Draft International Customs Convention on Touring brought into provisional application by the Agreement of 16 June 1949, the said Conventions contain no provision concerning temporary duty-free importation of aircraft and pleasure boats other than kayaks and canoes in use and under 5.5metres in length;

DESIRING to facilitate the development of international touring by means of aircraft and pleasure boats;

HAVE AGREED AS FOLLOWS:

CHAPTER I – DEFINITIONS

Article 1

For the purpose of this Convention:

(a) the term “import duties and import taxes” shall mean not only Customs duties but also all duties and taxes whatever chargeable by reason of importation;

(b) the term “boats” shall mean all pleasure boats and pleasure vessels with or without engines together with their spare parts, and their normal accessories and equipment when imported with the boats or vessels;

(c) the term “aircraft” shall mean all aircraft with or without engines together with their spare parts and their normal accessories and equipment when imported with the aircraft;

(d) the term “private use” shall mean the use of aircraft or boats, by their owners or by persons who have possession or control of them, whether on hire or otherwise, for non-commercial purposes and, in particular, for purposes other than the transport of persons for remuneration, reward or other consideration or the industrial and commercial transport of goods with or without remuneration;

(e) the term “temporary importation papers” shall mean the Customs document identifying the aircraft or boat and providing evidence of the guarantee or deposit of import duties and import taxes;

(f) the term “persons” shall mean both natural and legal persons unless the context otherwise requires.

CHAPTER II - TEMPORARY IMPORTATION WITHOUT PAYMENT OF IMPORT DUTIES AND IMPORT TAXES AND FREE OF IMPORT PROHIBITIONS AND RESTRICTIONS

Article 2

1. Each of the Contracting Parties shall grant temporary admission without payment of import duties and import taxes and free of import prohibitions and restrictions, subject to re-exportation and to the other conditions laid down in this Convention, to aircraft and boats owned by persons normally resident outside its territory which are imported and utilized, for their private use on the occasion of a temporary visit, either by the owners of the aircraft or boats or by other persons normally resident outside its territory.

2. Such aircraft and boats shall be covered by temporary importation papers guaranteeing payment of import duties and import taxes, and if the case should arise, of any Customs penalties incurred, subject to the special provision of paragraph 4 of Article 27.

Article 3

The fuel contained in the supply tanks of aircraft and boats temporarily imported shall be admitted without payment of import duties and import taxes and free of import prohibitions and restrictions, provided that the supply tanks are of normal capacity, are located in the usual places and are connected to the engine, it being understood that the fuel contained in these tanks is intended exclusively for consumption by the aircraft or boat.

Article 4

1. Component parts imported for the repair of a particular aircraft or boat already temporarily imported shall be admitted temporarily without payment of import duties and import taxes and free of import prohibitions and restrictions. Contracting Parties may require these parts to be covered by temporary importation papers.

2. Replaced parts which are not re-exported shall be liable to import duties and import taxes except where, in conformity with the regulations of the country concerned, they may be abandoned free of all expense to the Exchequer or destroyed, under official supervision, at the expense of the parties concerned.

Article 5

Temporary importation papers sent to associations authorized to issue the papers in question by the corresponding foreign associations, by international organizations or by the Customs authorities of the Contracting Parties, shall be admitted without payment of import duties and import taxes and free of import prohibitions and restrictions.

CHAPTER III - ISSUE OF TEMPORARY IMPORTATION PAPERS

Article 6

1. Subject to such guarantees and under such conditions as it may determine, each Contracting Party may authorize associations, such as those affiliated to an international organization, to issue either directly or through corresponding associations the temporary importation papers covered by this Convention.

2. Temporary importation papers may be valid for a single country or Customs territory or for several countries or Customs territories.

3. The period of validity of these papers shall not exceed one year from the date of issue.

Article 7

1. Temporary importation papers valid for the territories of all or several of the Contracting Parties shall be known as carnets de passages en douane and shall conform in respect of aircraft to the standard form contained in Annex 1, and, in respect of boats, to the standard form contained in Annex 2, to this Convention.

2. If a carnet de passages en douane is not valid for one or several territories, the issuing association shall indicate the fact on the cover and on the importation vouchers of the carnet.

3. Temporary importation papers intended for boats and valid only for the territory of a single Contracting Party may conform to the standard form contained in Annex 3 to this Convention. Contracting Parties may also use other documents, in accordance with their legislation or regulations.

4. The period of validity of temporary importation papers other than those issued by authorized associations as provided for in Article 6 shall be laid down by each Contracting Party in accordance with its legislation or regulations.

5. Each Contracting Party shall, upon request, supply the other Contracting Parties with models of temporary importation papers valid for its territory, other than those appearing in the Annexes to this Convention.

CHAPTER IV - PARTICULARS ON TEMPORARY IMPORTATION PAPERS

Article 8

Temporary importation papers issued by authorized associations shall be made out in the name of the persons who own the aircraft or boats temporarily imported or who have the possession or control of them. When such papers, issued in respect of hired aircraft or boats are made out in the name of the person letting out on hire, the words “ON HIRE TO …” followed by the name and the address of the normal residence in a foreign country of the person concerned, shall, when the Customs authorities of the country of temporary importation so require, be inserted on all counterfoils and vouchers used in connection with the journeys of the person taking the aircraft or boat on hire.

Article 9

1. The weight to be declared on temporary importation papers is the net weight of aircraft or boats. It shall be expressed in the metric system. In the case of papers valid for one country only, the Customs authorities of that country may prescribe the use of another system.

2. The value to be declared on temporary importation papers valid for one country only shall be expressed in the currency of that country. The value to be declared on a carnet de passages en douane shall be expressed in the currency of the country where the carnet is issued.

3. The articles and tool-kit which form the normal equipment of aircraft or boats need not be specially declared on the temporary importation papers.

4. When the Customs authorities so require, spare parts and accessories not considered as constituting the normal equipment of the aircraft or boat shall be declared on the temporary importation papers with the necessary particulars (such as weight and value) and shall be produced on exit from the country visited.

Article 10

Any particulars inserted on temporary importation papers by the issuing association may be altered only with the approval of the issuing or guaranteeing association. No alteration to the papers may be made after they have been passed by the Customs authorities of the country of importation except with the consent of those authorities.

CHAPTER v - CONDITIONS OF TEMPORARY IMPORTATION

Article 11

1. Aircraft and boats admitted under cover of temporary importation papers may be used, for their private use, by third persons duly authorized by the holders of the papers, provided that those third persons normally reside outside the country of importation and also fulfil the other conditions laid down in this Convention. The Customs authorities of the Contracting Parties shall have the right to require evidence that such third persons have been duly authorized by the holders of the papers and fulfil the aforesaid conditions. If this evidence does not appear sufficient, the Customs authorities may refuse use of these aircraft and boats in their country under cover of the papers. In the case of aircraft or boats which have been hired, each Contracting Party may require that the person taking the aircraft or boat on hire be present at the time of importation of the aircraft or boat.

2. Notwithstanding the provisions of the preceding paragraph, the Customs authorities of the Contracting Parties may permit, under conditions of which they shall be the sole judges, an aircraft or boat circulating under cover of temporary importation papers to be manned by a crew composed of persons who are normally resident in the country of importation, in particular when the crew of the aircraft or boat acts on behalf of or under instructions from the holder of the temporary importation papers.

Article 12

1. Aircraft or boats mentioned in temporary importation papers shall be re-exported in the same general state, except for wear and tear, within the period of validity of such papers. In the case of aircraft or boats which have been hired, the Customs authorities of the Contracting Parties shall have the right to require the re-exportation of the aircraft or boat as soon as the hirer has left the country of temporary importation.

2. Evidence of re-exportation shall be provided by the exit visa properly appended to the temporary importation papers by the Customs authorities of the country into which the aircraft or boat was temporarily imported.

3. Contracting Parties may, however, make the discharge of temporary importation papers for aircraft subject to proof of the arrival of the aircraft in foreign territory.

Article 13

1. Notwithstanding the requirement of re-exportation laid down in Article 12, the re-exportation of badly damaged aircraft or boats shall not be required, in the case of duly authenticated accidents, provided that the aircraft or boats:

(a) are subjected to the import duties and import taxes to which they are liable; or

(b) are abandoned free of all expense to the Exchequer of the country into which they were imported temporarily; or

(c) are destroyed, under official supervision, at the expense of the parties concerned, any salvaged parts and materials being subjected to the import duties and import taxes to which they are liable, as the Customs authorities may require.

2. When an aircraft or boat temporarily imported cannot be re-exported as a result of a seizure, other than a seizure made at the suit of private persons, the requirement of re-exportation within the period of validity of the temporary importation papers shall be suspended for the duration of the seizure.

3. The Customs authorities shall notify, so far as possible, to the guaranteeing association, seizures made by or on behalf of those Customs authorities of aircraft or boats admitted under cover of temporary importation papers guaranteed by that association and shall advise it of the measures they intend to take.

Article 14

An aircraft or boat imported into the territory of one of the Contracting Parties under cover of temporary importation papers may not be used, even incidentally, for transport against remuneration, reward or other consideration between points within the frontiers of that territory or outwards from that territory. It may not be hired out after importation and if it was imported on hire it may not be re-hired to any person other than the person who hired it originally.

Article 15

Persons entitled to temporary importation facilities may, during the period of validity of temporary importation papers, import the aircraft or boats covered by those papers as often as necessary, on condition that they have each passage (entry and exit) established by a visa of the Customs officers concerned if the Customs authorities so require. Temporary importation papers may however be made valid for a single journey only.

Article 16

When temporary importation papers without detachable vouchers for each passage are used for boats, the visas given by the Customs officers between the first entry and the final exit shall be provisional. Nevertheless, when the last visa is a provisional exit visa, it shall be admitted as proof of the re-exportation of the boat or component parts temporarily imported.

Article 17

When temporary importation papers with a detachable voucher for each passage are used, each entry visa implies the passing of the document by the Customs authorities, and each subsequent exit visa constitutes its final discharge, except as provided in Article 18.

Article 18

When the Customs authorities of a country have finally and unconditionally discharged temporary importation papers they can no longer claim from the guaranteeing association payment of import duties and import taxes, unless the certificate of discharge was obtained improperly or fraudulently.

Article 19

Visas on temporary importation papers used under the conditions laid down in this Convention shall not be subject to the payment of charges for Customs attendance, provided such visas are issued at a Customs office or post during authorized hours.

CHAPTER VI - EXTENSION OF VALIDITY AND RENEWAL OF TEMPORARY IMPORTATION PAPERS

Article 20

The lack of proof of re-exportation within the time allowed of aircraft or boats temporarily imported shall be disregarded when the aircraft or boats are presented to the Customs authorities for re-exportation within fourteen days from the expiry of the papers and satisfactory explanations of the delay are given.

Article 21

Each of the Contracting Parties shall recognize as valid extensions of validity of carnets de passages en douane granted by another Contracting State in accordance with the procedure laid down in Annex 4 to this Convention.

Article 22

1. Requests for extension of validity of temporary importation papers shall be presented to the competent Customs authorities before the expiry of the period of validity of these papers, unless this is rendered impossible by force majeure. If the temporary importation papers have been issued by an authorized association, the request for extension shall be made by the association which guarantees the papers.

2. Extensions of time necessary for the re-exportation of aircraft or boats or component parts imported temporarily shall be granted when the persons concerned can establish to the satisfaction of the Customs authorities that they are prevented by force majeure from re-exporting the said aircraft, boats or component parts within the time allowed.

Article 23

Each of the Contracting Parties shall, unless the conditions of temporary admission are no longer satisfied, authorize, subject to whatever measures of control it may consider necessary, the renewal of temporary importation papers issued by the authorized associations and relating to aircraft, boats or component parts temporarily imported into its territory. Requests for renewal shall be presented by the guaranteeing association.

CHAPTER VII - REGULARIZATION OF TEMPORARY IMPORTATION PAPERS

Article 24

1. If temporary importation papers have not been regularly discharged, the Customs authorities of the country of importation shall (whether the papers have expired or not) accept as evidence of re-exportation of the aircraft, boats or component parts the presentation of a certificate based on the standard form shown in Annex 5 to this Convention, issued by an official authority (consul, Customs, police, mayor, judicial officer, etc.), attesting the facts that the aircraft, boat or component parts in question have been presented to it and are outside the country of importation. The said Customs authorities may also accept any other documentary evidence that the aircraft, boat or component parts are outside the country of importation. In the case of papers, other than carnets de passages en douane, which have not expired, the said Customs authorities may require the papers to be surrendered to them before the date on which the aircraft or boat in question was certified to be outside the country of temporary importation.

In the case of carnets, account shall be taken, as evidence of re-exportation of the aircraft, boats, or component parts, of the visas entered thereon by the Customs authorities of countries subsequently visited.

2. In the case of the destruction, loss or theft of temporary importation papers not regularly discharged but relating to aircraft, boats or component parts which have been re-exported, the Customs authorities of the country of importation shall accept as proof of re-exportation the presentation of certificates based on the standard form shown in Annex 5 to this Convention issued by an official authority (consul, Customs, police, mayor, judicial officer, etc.), attesting the facts that the aircraft, boats or component parts in question have been presented to it and are outside the country of importation after the date of expiry of the papers. They may also accept any other documentary evidence that the aircraft, boats or component parts are outside the country of temporary importation.

3. In the case of the destruction, loss or theft of carnets de passages en douane while aircraft, boats or component parts to which they refer are in the territory of one of the Contracting Parties, the Customs authorities of that Party shall, at the request of the association concerned, accept replacement documents the validity of which shall expire on the date of expiry of the validity of the carnets which they replace. This acceptance will annul the previous acceptance of the carnets destroyed, lost or stolen. If, instead of replacement documents, export licences or similar documents are issued for the re-exportation of the aircraft, boats or component parts, the exit visas on these licences or documents shall be considered as sufficient proof of re-exportation.

4. If aircraft or boats are stolen after having been re-exported from the country of importation, without the exit having been regularly endorsed on the temporary importation papers and in the absence of entry visas on the papers entered thereon by the Customs authorities of countries subsequently visited, the papers may nevertheless be regularized provided that the guaranteeing association furnishes the papers together with such evidence of theft as may be considered sufficient. If the temporary importation papers have not expired, the Customs authorities may require their surrender.

Article 25

In the cases referred to in Article 24, the Customs authorities shall have the right to charge a regularization fee.

Article 26

Customs authorities shall not have the right to require from the guaranteeing association payment of import duties and import taxes on aircraft, boats or component parts temporarily imported when the non-discharge of the temporary importation papers has not been notified to the guaranteeing association within one year of the date of expiry of the validity of those papers.

Article 27

1. The guaranteeing associations shall have a period of one year from the date of notification of the non-discharge of temporary importation papers in which to furnish proof of the re-exportation of the aircraft, boats or component parts in question under the conditions laid down in this Convention.

2. If such proof is not furnished within the time allowed, the guaranteeing association shall forthwith deposit or pay provisionally the import duties and import taxes payable. This deposit or payment shall become final after a period of one year from the date of the deposit or provisional payment. During the latter period, the guaranteeing association may still avail itself of the facilities provided by the preceding paragraph with a view to repayment of the sums deposited or paid.

3. For countries whose regulations do not provide for the deposit or provisional payment of import duties and import taxes, payments made in conformity with the provisions of the preceding paragraph will be regarded as final, it being understood that the sums paid may be refunded when the conditions laid down in this article are fulfilled.

4. In the case of the non-discharge of temporary importation papers, the guaranteeing association shall not be required to pay a sum greater than the total of the import duties and import taxes applicable to the aircraft, boats or component parts not re-exported, together with interest if applicable.

Article 28

The provisions of this Convention do not affect the right of the Contracting Parties, in the event of fraud, contravention or abuse, to take proceedings against holders of, or the persons using, temporary importation papers, for the recovery of the import duties and import taxes and also to impose any penalties to which such persons have rendered themselves liable. In such cases, the guaranteeing associations shall lend their assistance to the Customs authorities.

CHAPTER VIII - MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

Article 29

The Contracting Parties shall endeavour not to introduce Customs procedures which might have the effect of impeding the development of international touring.

Article 30

Any breach of the provisions of this Convention, any substitution, false declaration or act having the effect of causing a person or an article improperly to benefit from the system of importation laid down in this Convention, may render the offender liable in the country where the offence was committed to the penalties prescribed by the laws of that country.

Article 31

Nothing in this Convention shall prevent Contracting Parties which form a Customs or economic union from enacting special provisions applicable to persons normally resident in the countries forming that union.

Article 32

Nothing in this Convention shall be deemed to prejudice the right of each Contracting Party to apply import prohibitions or restrictions based on considerations other than economic in character, for example considerations of public morality, public security, public health or hygiene.

ANNEX 4

EXTENSION OF VALIDITY OF THE “CARNET DE PASSAGES EN DOUANE”

1. The stamp for extension of validity shall conform to the model given in the present annex.
The text shall be drawn up in French, but may be repeated in another language.

2. The following procedure shall be observed by the person requesting the extension and by the guaranteeing association dealing with the request:

(a) When the holder of a carnet de passages en douane finds himself obliged to request an extension of the period of validity of the document, he should send the carnet to the guaranteeing association with a request for its extension, explaining the circumstances which oblige him to make the request. He should enclose with his request, as supporting evidence, a medical certificate, a statement from the repair shop repairing his vehicle, or some other authentic document to prove that the delay in question is caused by force majeure.

(b) If the guaranteeing association considers that the request for extension can be passed on to the Customs authorities, it should affix the stamp referred to in paragraph 1 on the front cover of the carnet de passages en douane in the space left especially for the purpose.

(c) In the left-hand section of the stamp the guaranteeing association should enter, in figures and words, the date until which the extension is requested.

The President of the association or his representative should affix his signature and the stamp of the association.

(d) The length of the extension must not exceed a reasonable time in which to complete the journey, and should not normally exceed three months from the previous date of expiry of the carnet.

(e) The guaranteeing association should then send the carnet to the competent Customs authority in its country, with the holder’s application and the supporting evidence attached.

(f) The Customs authority will decide whether the extension can be granted. It may shorten the period of extension requested, or refuse to grant any extension whatsoever. If an extension is granted, the competent Customs officer should fill in the remaining spaces on the stamp affixed on the cover of the carnet by the guaranteeing association, inserting a serial or registry number, the place and date, his official status, and adding his signature and the Customs stamp.

(g) The carnet should then be returned to the guaranteeing association, which in turn should hand it back to the person concerned.
