— Rights and Obligations

1 Subject to the provisions of the present Convention and of any other agreement between the Federal Republic and the Three Powers or any one of them, the Forces shall in principle be exempt from German customs legislation and control and German regulations governing the movement of property into or out of the Federal territory.

2 The Forces may bring into, and take out of, the Federal territory their property and property intended for their use or that of their members, without payment of any duties or other Federal taxes, and without restrictions or prohibitions. Goods purchased in the Federal territory by the Forces against payment in the currency of their country shall, for the purposes of this Article, be treated as exported from the Federal territory and imported by the Forces. The Forces shall observe German regulations designed to preserve the health of humans, animals and plants.

3 The Forces shall issue official certificates of authorisation in respect of their imports and exports. The form of these certificates shall be established in consultation with the Federal Government.

4 Consignments of the Forces carried in their official transport shall be subject to customs control by the authorities of the Forces. The latter shall ensure the enforcement and adequacy of such control and the safe arrival of these consignments at destination. The authorities of the Forces shall inform the German customs authorities of the measures taken to implement the provisions of this paragraph.

5 Consignments of the Forces carried in transport other than their official transport shall be subject to normal German customs control but shall not be delayed thereby. However, consignments sealed by the authorities of the Forces or a customs administration shall be exempt from internal examination; this provision shall not be deemed to prevent German customs officials from examining the seals and, if necessary, adding German seals. Discrepancies discovered as a result of these controls shall be notified to the authorities of the Forces.

6 Additionally to the exemptions contained in Article 35 official couriers of the Forces shall be exempt from control by German customs authorities with regard to their courier luggage. They shall be accorded preferential treatment to ensure that they are not delayed.

7 Military units moving operationally under orders across the frontiers of the Federal territory shall be exempt from control by German customs authorities; provided that the officer in charge declares in writing that all practicable measures have been taken to ensure that neither the unit nor the members thereof carry goods in contravention of the provisions of this Article or of Article 35 of the present Convention. If practicable, prior notification of troop movements shall be given to the appropriate German customs authorities by the authorities of the Forces. These provisions shall not apply to frontier crossings made during military exercises or manoeuvres.

8 Imports and exports of goods in aircraft owned or operated by the Forces or on their behalf which land at, or take off from, a military airfield shall be subject to customs control by the authorities of the Forces. If such aircraft land at a civil airfield, they shall be subject to customs control by the authorities of the Forces; the German customs authorities shall notify the authorities of the Forces without delay. If commercial aircraft land at a military airfield, the German customs administration shall be notified by the authorities of the Forces, which shall take all necessary measures to ensure that any goods carried shall not enter the German economy before the German customs authorities have had the opportunity to clear them.

9 With the exception of the property referred to in paragraph 11 of Article 39 of the present Convention, the authorities of the Forces may dispose of movable property of the Forces in the Federal territory. Property disposed of for export to a purchaser not resident in the Federal territory shall not be subject to German export restrictions or export duties. The conditions under which the property referred to in this paragraph is disposed of shall be the subject of mutual agreement between the appropriate authorities of the Forces and the appropriate German authorities.
