Agreement between the United Kingdom and the Estonian Republic relative to the Clearance of Commercial Travellers' Samples.

Signed at Tallinn (Reval), May 3, 1926.

THE Government of His Britannic Majesty and the Government of the Estonian Republic, being desirous of facilitating the clearance through their respective Customs Departments of samples of dutiable goods brought by commercial travellers, to be used as models or patterns for the purpose of obtaining orders and not for sale, mutually agree as follows:

Articles liable to duty serving as patterns and samples, which are introduced into Great Britain and Northern Ireland by commercial travellers of Estonia, or into Estonia by commercial travellers of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, shall henceforth be admitted free of duty, subject to the following formalities requisite to ensure their being re-exported or placed in bond:

1. The officers of Customs at any port or place at which the patterns or samples may be imported shall ascertain the amount of duty chargeable thereon. That amount must either be deposited by the commercial traveller in money, or ample security must be given for it.

2. For the purpose of identification, the marks, stamps or seals placed upon the samples by the Customs authorities of one of the Contracting Parties shall be recognised as sufficient by those of the other. Should the samples, however, arrive without bearing any of the abovementioned marks, or should the marks not appear to be sufficient to the Administration interested, a supplementary mark may be affixed to such samples if considered desirable in such a way as not to injure them and without charge.

3. A Permit or Certificate shall be given to the importer which shall contain :

(a.) A list of the patterns or samples imported specifying the nature of the goods and such marks as may be proper for the purpose of identification;

(b.) A statement showing the duty chargeable on the patterns or samples, and also whether the amount

was deposited in money or whether security was given for it;

(c.) A statement as to the manner in which the patterns or samples were marked;

(d.) A statement of the period (not in any case to exceed twelve months) at the expiration of which the amount of duty deposited will be carried to public account, or the amount payable will be recovered under the security given, as the case may be, unless it is proved that the patterns or samples have been previously re-exported or placed in bond.
