Information required by the public authorities
Contracting States shall provide for the collection of statistical data at such times and under such arrangements so
that the release of imported goods or those intended for exportation is not delayed thereby. Subject to the technological capabilities of the Contracting State, documents for the importation or exportation of
goods, including the Cargo Manifest and/or air waybills, shall be accepted when presented in electronic form transmitted to
an information system of the public authorities.
The production and presentation of the Cargo Manifest and the air waybill(s) shall be the responsibility of the
aircraft operator or his authorized agent. The production and presentation of the other documents required for the clearance of
the goods shall be the responsibility of the declarant.
Where a Contracting State has requirements for additional documents for import, export or transit formalities,
such as commercial invoices, declaration forms, import licences and the like, it shall not make it the obligation of the aircraft
operator to ensure that these documentary requirements are met nor shall the operator be held responsible, fined or penalized
for inaccuracies or omissions of facts shown on such documents unless he is the declarant himself, is acting on his behalf or
has specific legal responsibilities.
