Art. 8 Luchtvaartverdrag tussen het Koninkrijk der Nederlanden, ten behoeve van Curaçao, en de Tsjechische Republiek — Customs Provisions, Duties and Taxes

1. Each Contracting Party shall on the basis of reciprocity exempt the designated airline of the other Contracting Party from import restrictions, customs duties, indirect taxes, inspection fees and other national and local duties and charges on aircraft, fuel, lubricants, consumable technical supplies, spare parts including engines, regular aircraft equipment, aircraft stores and food (including liquor, tobacco, beverages and other products destined for sale to passengers in limited quantities during the flight) and other items intended for use solely in connection with the operation or servicing of aircraft of the designated airline of such Contracting Party operating the agreed services, as well as printed tickets stock, air waybills, any printed material which bears the insignia of the company printed thereon and usual publicity material distributed free of charge by that designated airline. 2. The exemptions granted by this Article shall apply to the items referred to in paragraph 1 of this Article: introduced into the territory of one Contracting Party by or on behalf of the designated airline of the other Contracting Party; retained on board the aircraft of the designated airline of one Contracting Party upon arriving in and until leaving the territory of the other Contracting Party; or taken on board the aircraft of the designated airline of one Contracting Party in the territory of the other Contracting Party and intended for use in operating the agreed services, whether or not such items are used or consumed wholly or partly within the territory of the Contracting Party granting the exemption, provided such items are not alienated in the territory of the said Contracting Party. 3. The regular airborne equipment, as well as the materials, supplies and stores normally retained on board the aircraft of a designated airline of either Contracting Party may be unloaded in the territory of the other Contracting Party only with the approval of the customs authorities of that Contracting Party. In such case, they may be placed under the supervision of the said authorities up to such time as they are re-exported or otherwise disposed of in accordance with customs regulations. 4. The exemptions provided for by this Article shall also apply in respect of consumable technical supplies, spare parts including engines and regular airborne equipment in situations where the designated airline of either Contracting Party has entered into arrangements with another airline for the loan or transfer in the territory of the other Contracting Party, provided such other airline similarly enjoys such exemptions from such Contracting Party. Such loan and transfer shall be announced by airlines to the respective customs authorities. 5. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent the Czech Republic from imposing, on a non-discriminatory basis, taxes, levies, duties, fees or charges on fuel supplied in its territory for use in an aircraft of a designated airline of Curaçao that operates between a point in the territory of the Czech Republic and another point in the territory of the Czech Republic or in the territory of another European Union Member State.
