About this statute

This article defines key terms used in the Convention, including Standard, Transitional Standard, Recommended Practice, National legislation, General Annex, Specific Annex, Guidelines, the Permanent Technical Committee, the Council, and Customs or Economic Union. Each Contracting Party must promote and harmonize customs procedures and follow the Convention’s standards and recommended practices. It may also grant greater facilities than the Convention provides. This article says the Convention does not stop national laws on prohibitions or restrictions for goods under customs control. This article explains what the Convention and its annexes are made of. Specific annexes or chapters bound to a Contracting Party count as part of the Convention, and references to the Convention also cover those annexes or chapters for that Party.
