Those who exchanged their powers and found them in good and proper form have agreed as follows:
The Parties shall take all necessary measures to consolidate and develop trade relations between the two States in a spirit of friendly cooperation and mutual assistance on the principle of equality and mutual benefits.

In order to simplify customs formalities for the import and export of goods, no Party shall, on the basis of reciprocity, require consular invoices on imports of goods originating in the territory of the other Party. Nor will any Contracting Party on the basis of reciprocity require a certificate of origin, except where other provisions in relation to the application of customs duties apply to imports of certain goods.
The provisions of the preceding paragraph shall not apply to certificates of origin required under the provisions of the Contracting Parties on plant protection and health-veterinary matters.
