TRADE AGREEMENT
between the Government of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic and the Government of the Republic of Liberia
The Government of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic and the Government of the Republic of Liberia, guided by the desire to develop and strengthen trade relations between the two countries on the basis of mutual recognition of their national sovereignty and independence, non-interference in their internal affairs, equality of rights and mutual benefit, have agreed as follows:
The Contracting Parties shall grant each other treatment under the most favoured-nation clause in respect of customs duties and other levies imposed on imports or exports, or in respect of the import or export of goods between the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic and the Republic of Liberia, in respect of international transfers of export or import salaries, the method of collecting such duties and levies, the labelling of products and the issue of export and import licences.
However, the provisions of paragraph 1 shall not apply to:
1. advantages which a country may grant to a neighbouring country or countries for the purpose of border trade, or at a later date;
2. benefits or privileges arising from a customs union or free trade area of which a country is or may become a member;
3. advantages or privileges provided through multilateral economic arrangements relating to foreign trade, of which a country is or may become a member.
The Contracting Parties shall, in accordance with their respective legislation, promote and facilitate trade between the two countries in accordance with the instruments "A 'and" B' annexed to this Agreement.
These documents are indicative and may be amended by mutual agreement.
Each Party, taking due account of its own legislation, shall grant unrestricted access to its own market for goods originating in the other Party.
Contracts relating to the exchange of goods and services under this Agreement shall be implemented on the basis of contracts concluded between legal persons or persons authorised under Liberian law to conduct trade in the Republic of Liberia, on the one hand, and between Czechoslovak independent legal persons authorised under Czechoslovak law, on the other hand, on the other hand.
In order to facilitate the development of trade between the two countries of the Contracting Parties, within the framework of the legislation in force in their respective countries and under the conditions agreed between the competent authorities of the two Parties, they shall provide each other with the necessary assistance in their respective territories for the organisation of fairs and permanent or temporary exhibitions and for their organisation and proper implementation.
No Party shall levy import duties on samples of any kind without commercial value originating in the territory of the other Party on its territory.
The Contracting Parties shall grant each other temporary exemption from import duties and other levies levied on imports or exports, in respect of:
(a) products intended for competitions, exhibitions and fairs;
(b) products intended for experiments and tests;
(c) equipment and materials intended for construction, assembly and research according to the rules in force in one of the two countries, and in the case of models and collections intended for issue, provided that the above products and goods are re-exported at the end of the purpose for which they were imported.
The two Contracting Parties shall provide each other with all means and equipment to transit goods of the other Contracting Party through their territory. Ships, their crews, passengers and the costs of one of the Contracting Parties shall be treated in ports or territorial sea waters of the other Contracting Party no less favourable than that provided to any other country. This will not apply to coastal navigation, inland navigation and fishing.
Each Contracting Party shall provide the necessary means and equipment to facilitate the transport of goods subject to trade under this Agreement by ships owned or hired by the other Contracting Party.
All salaries between the two countries shall be made in the convertible currency to be agreed in the contracts, in accordance with the foreign exchange legislation in force in each country.
The Parties agree to establish a Joint Commission to oversee the implementation of the provisions of this Agreement and to examine the possibilities for further development of economic relations between the two countries.
The joint committee will meet alternately in Prague and Monroe, whenever necessary and at a time agreed between the two parties.
This Agreement shall be concluded for a period of five (5) years from the date of its entry into force and shall be automatically extended for a further period of one year, unless, at the latest six (6) months before the date of expiry of the relevant period, one of the Contracting Parties notifies in writing, by diplomatic means, the other Contracting Party that the Agreement has been signed.
The provisions of this Agreement shall continue to apply after its expiry to all contracts concluded during its validity but not fully implemented at the date of expiry.
This Agreement shall be subject to approval in accordance with the relevant legislation of each of the Contracting Parties and shall take effect on the date of signature and shall enter into force on the date of the last notification confirming its approval.
