The Government of the Czechoslovak Republic and the Government of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics wishing to further develop trade relations between the two countries have agreed on the following:
The supply of goods from the Czechoslovak Republic to the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and from the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics to the Czechoslovak Republic will take place in the extent and in the types of goods agreed between the competent authorities of both governments for each period and determined in specific protocols.
Both governments shall ensure each other's timely delivery under the said protocols.
The protocols under Article 1 of this Agreement may be amended by agreement of the Ministry of Foreign Trade of the Czechoslovak Republic with the Trade Council of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics in Czechoslovakia.
Czechoslovak legal and physical persons with one party and Soviet organisations for foreign trade with the other will conclude contracts of supply of goods according to the above mentioned protocols.
With regard to prices for goods under these contracts, the following principles shall apply:
(a) prices shall be established by a direct agreement between Czechoslovak legal and physical persons with one party and Soviet foreign trade organisations with the other on the basis of the time of the world prices in force on accessible markets or prices of competing offers from third countries, taking into account transport costs to the place of delivery;
(b) for individual products with special design conditions, special arrangements shall be established, but also taking into account the prices of competing offers for similar products from third countries;
(c) If an agreement on prices is not reached (points "a" and "b"), it will be decided upon by agreement of the Ministry of Foreign Trade of the Republic of Czechoslovakia with the Trade Representative of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics in Czechoslovakia.
The supply of goods under this Agreement shall be performed, unless otherwise provided for in contracts concluded under Article 3 of this Agreement, subject to the following conditions:

from the Czechoslovak fob of the Czechoslovak ports of the Danube or the Czechoslovak-Soviet or Czechoslovak-Polish border.
In order to supervise the implementation of this Agreement and to control it, the Government of the Czechoslovak Republic and the Government of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics shall establish their interlocutors, who shall meet alternately in Prague and Moscow, as appropriate, to discuss the progress of the implementation of this Agreement as well as the mutual supply of goods and to draw up any recommendations.
Goods delivered in 1945 and 1946 prior to the signing of this Agreement and goods to be supplied under this Agreement, as well as ancillary expenditure associated with such supplies, will be paid in the Czechoslovak Republic through the Czechoslovak National Bank and the Soviet Socialist Republic Union through the State Bank of the Soviet Socialist Republic.
To this end, the two banks will open special interest-free accounts to each other in the Czechoslovak crowns and immediately notify each other of all the salaries they have received on those accounts.
If such a label is given, the bank to which it relates shall immediately pay the relevant organisation or person, on presentation of the relevant documents and irrespective of the cash situation of those accounts.
The Czechoslovak National Bank and the State Bank of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics agree on the technical conditions for mutual accounting under this Agreement.
Czechoslovak persons of legal and physical and Soviet organisations for foreign trade may, with the permission of the competent authorities of both governments, negotiate, on a case-by-case basis, additional supplies of goods not foreseen by this Agreement with their reimbursement in foreign currency under the terms of the deadlines.
Reimbursement in such cases shall be made in accordance with the provisions of these special deadlines.
By agreement of the Czechoslovak National Bank with the State Bank of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, salaries other than those referred to in Article 6 of this Agreement may be transferred through the accounts referred to in Article 6 of this Agreement.

This Agreement shall enter into force on the date of signature and shall apply for one year; However, if no Contracting Party notifies its wish to terminate the Agreement one month before its expiry, it shall remain in force for another year at all times.
