Article 20 Verdrag tot oprichting van de Caribische Douaneorganisatie en inzake wederzijdse administratieve bijstand in douanezaken

MUTUAL ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANCE IN CUSTOMS MATTERS

1 Members shall, through their customs administrations, provide each other with administrative assistance under the terms set out in this Agreement, for the proper application of customs law, for the prevention, investigation and combating of customs offences, and to ensure the security and facilitation of the international trade supply chain.

2 Any activity carried out under this Agreement by a Member shall be in accordance with its legal and administrative provisions and within the limits of its customs administration’s competence and available resources.

3 Each Member shall notify the Secretary General of the authorities referred to in Article 1 (ii) of this Agreement, authorized under national law or designated by that Member to apply any provision of this Agreement. The Secretary General shall communicate this information and any updates thereof to the other Members.

4 This Agreement only covers mutual administrative assistance between the Members and is not intended to have an impact on mutual legal assistance agreements between them. If mutual assistance is to be provided by other authorities of a requested Member, the requested administration shall indicate those authorities and, where known, the relevant agreement or arrangement applicable.

5 Taking into account the respective competences of the Caribbean communities and their member states as well as of the European Union and its member states, provisions of this Chapter and of Chapter IV shall:

(i) not affect the obligations of Members under any other international agreement;

(ii) be deemed complementary to agreements on mutual assistance which have been or may be concluded by any of the Caribbean communities or the European Union.

6 The provisions of this Agreement shall not give rise to a right on the part of any person to impede the execution of a request for assistance.
