Artikel 10

1. Each Party shall, on the basis of reciprocity, exempt a designated airline of the other Party to the fullest extent possible under its national law from customs duties, excise taxes, inspection fees and other national duties and charges on aircraft, fuel, lubricating oils, consumable technical supplies, spare parts including engines, regular aircraft equipment, aircraft stores (including but not limited to such items of food, beverages and liquor, tobacco and other products destined for sale or to be used solely in connection with the operation or servicing of aircraft) and other items, such as printed ticket 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 intended for use or used solely in connection with the operation or servicing of aircraft of the designated airline of such other Party operating the agreed services.
2. The exemptions granted by this Article shall apply to the items referred to in paragraph 1 of this Article:
a) introduced into the territory of the Party by or on behalf of the designated airline of the other Party;
b) retained on board aircraft of the designated airline of one Party upon arrival in or leaving the territory of the other Party; or
c) taken on board aircraft of the designated airline of one Party in the territory of the other Party and intended for use in operating the agreed services,
whether or not such items are used or consumed wholly within the territory of the Party granting the exemption, provided that the ownership of such items is not transferred in the territory of the said Party.
3. The regular airborne equipment, as well as the items and supplies normally retained on board the aircraft of the designated airline of either Party, may be unloaded in the territory of the other Party only with the approval of the customs authorities of that territory. In such case, they may be placed under 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 situations where a designated airline of one Party has entered into arrangements with other airlines for the loan or transfer in the territory of the other Party of the items specified in paragraphs 1 and 2 of this Article, provided that such other airlines similarly enjoy such exemptions from the other Party.
5. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent either Party 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 the other Party that operates between a point or points in the territory of the first Party and another point in the territory of that Party or a point in the territory of another European Union Member State or a Member State of the European Economic Area or a Member State to the European Free Trade Association.
