Article VIII Verdrag tussen de regering van het Koninkrijk der Nederlanden ten behoeve van Aruba en de regering van de Verenigde Staten van Amerika inzake douane-voorinspectie

1 The Parties agree that any Air Carrier or Aircraft Commander shall have the option to request either Preclearance or Post-Clearance, with Preclearance being subject to approval by the United States and the following conditions:

a) Requests for Preclearance should be made as far in advance as possible, but not less than 60 days prior to the anticipated initiation of service. The United States may require a reasonable period before extending Preclearance to such Air Carrier in order to obtain personnel or facilities required by the anticipated changes in service;

b) An Air Carrier desiring to withdraw entirely from Preclearance shall be required to give twelve months’ notice to both Parties, but, upon written consent from the Parties, it may withdraw sooner. An Air Carrier desiring to withdraw from Preclearance only in respect of certain eligible flights shall be required to give three months’ notice, but, upon written consent from the Parties, it may be permitted to withdraw sooner; and

c) Preclearance Officers may decline to conduct Preclearance in respect of any Air Carrier until the carrier:

(i) Has taken the necessary steps to enable it to deny carriage onwards to the United States to anyone found ineligible to travel on a precleared flight;

(ii) Has ensured that only Goods and merchandise approved by the United States are made available, including for purchase, on board precleared aircraft; and

(iii) Has taken the necessary steps to comply with any lawful conditions imposed by the United States.

d) With respect to Private Aircraft:

(i) Preclearance Officers may decline to conduct Preclearance on a Private Aircraft until the Aircraft Commander has taken the necessary steps to deny carriage onward to the United States to anyone found ineligible to travel on a precleared flight; and

(ii) Aircraft Commanders shall be required to comply with laws governing landing, entry, and clearance in the United States. The Airport Operator shall ensure that all Aircraft Commanders seeking Preclearance provide advance notice of their departure from the territory of Aruba to the territory of the United States in order to schedule Preclearance services. The Parties shall develop mutually accepted procedures to ensure adequate advance notice of requests for the Preclearance of Private Aircraft.
