Verdrag tot oprichting van de Caribische Douaneorganisatie en inzake wederzijdse administratieve bijstand in douanezaken
1. Where any assistance requested under this Agreement may infringe the sovereignty, laws and treaty obligations, security, public policy or any other substantive national interest of a requested Member, or prejudice any legitimate commercial or professional interests, such assistance may be declined by that Member or provided subject to any terms or conditions it may require.
2. Where a requesting administration would be unable to comply if a similar request were made by the requested administration, it shall draw attention to that fact in its request. Compliance with such a request shall be at the discretion of the requested administration.
3. Assistance may be postponed if there are grounds to believe that it will interfere with any ongoing investigation, prosecution or proceeding. In such a case, the requested administration shall consult with the requesting administration to determine if assistance can be given subject to such terms or conditions as the requested administration may specify.
4. If the requested administration considers that the effort required to fulfill a request is clearly disproportionate to the perceived benefit to the requesting administration, it may decline to provide the requested assistance.
5. Where assistance is declined or postponed, reasons for declining or postponement shall be given.
