Both Contracting Parties will provide each other with unconditional and unlimited treatment in accordance with the principle of the highest benefits in all matters concerning trade between the two countries.
The most-favoured-nation treatment provided for in Article 1 of this Treaty shall not apply to advantages which are or will in future be granted by one of the Contracting Parties to neighbouring States in order to facilitate border traffic and to the advantages which the United Arab Republic has granted or will grant to Arab countries in the future.
In order to simplify the formalities for the import and export of goods, none of the two Contracting Parties shall require consular invoices when importing goods originating in the territory of the other Contracting Party.
Both Contracting Parties shall authorise imports and exports free of customs duties for imports and exports under their respective applicable rules and regulations, such as:

The Parties undertake to protect industrial property in accordance with their respective internal regulations and in agreement with the Paris Union Convention of 20 March 1883 and the Madrid Agreement of 14 April 1881.
The provisions of this Article shall not apply to goods in transit.
Contracts will be concluded between Czechoslovak foreign trade undertakings as separate legal entities, or other separate legal entities, entrusted by Czechoslovak foreign trade laws on one side and legal and natural persons in the United Arab Republic on the other.
The two Contracting Parties shall provide each other with the most favourable treatment in terms of navigation in agreement with the sailing agreement to be concluded between the Czechoslovak Republic and the United Arab Republic and with the provisions applicable to ports.
Each side will treat the ships of the other side in its ports as well as its own.
The date on which this Treaty enters into force shall cease to be the date of the Agreement on trade relations between the Czechoslovak Republic and Egypt of 16 March 1930 and the Trade Agreement between the Czechoslovak Republic and the Syrian Republic of 30 July 1952.
This Treaty will be ratified. It will enter into force on the date of the exchange of instruments of ratification, which will take place in Prague.
This Treaty is concluded for a period of three years. It shall be automatically extended for a further period of three years, unless one of the Contracting Parties denies it by written notification to the other Party at least six months before the expiry of the current three-year period.
Both Parties agree that the Treaty will be provisionally implemented from the date of signature.
