Likewise, Aruba shall provide any necessary documentation and identification cards to each employee and his/her accompanying dependents, to ensure that such persons are granted tax-free and duty-free benefits with respect to the payment of all excise duties and taxes applicable in Aruba equivalent to those accorded to members of a consular post by the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations of 1963, and on customs duties on goods for personal consumption, in reasonable quantities brought into Aruba for the duration of the employee’s assignment. 7.
