As regards their origin and the different customs régimes, they are liable to the regulations of the same kind as are applicable to goods imported by land or sea. 11 With regard to goods exported in discharge of a temporary receiving or bonded account or liable to inland taxes, the senders shall prove their right to send the goods abroad by producing a certificate from the customs of the place of destination. Air Transit When an aircraft to reach its destination must fly over one or more contracting states, without prejudice to the right of sovereignty of each of the contracting states, two cases must be distinguished: 1. If the aircraft neither sets down nor takes up passengers or goods, it is bound only to keep to the normal air route and make itself known by signals when passing over the points designated for such purpose. 2. In other cases, it shall be bound to land at a customs aerodrome and the name of such aerodrome shall be entered in the log book before departure. On landing, the customs authorities shall examine the papers and the cargo, and take, if need be, the necessary steps to ensure the reexportation of the craft and goods or the payment of the dues. The provisions of paragraph 9 (2) are applicable to goods to be reexported. If the aircraft sets down or takes up goods, the customs officer shall verify the fact on the manifest, duly completed, and shall affix, if necessary, a new seal. Various Provisions 13 Every aircraft during flight, wherever it may be, must conform to the orders from police or customs stations and police or customs aircraft of the state over which it is flying. 14 Customs officers and excise officials, and generally speaking the representatives of the public authorities shall have free access to all starting and landing places for aircraft; they may also search any aircraft and its cargo to exercise their rights of supervision. 15 Except in the case of postal aircraft, all unloading or throwing out in the course of flight, except of ballast, may be prohibited. 16 In addition to any penalties which may be imposed by local law for infringement of the preceding regulations, such infringement shall be reported to the state in which the aircraft is registered, and that state shall suspend for a limited time, or permanently, the certificate of registration of the offending aircraft. 17 The provisions of this annex do not apply to military aircraft visiting a state by special authorization (Articles 31, 32 and 33 of the Convention), nor to police and customs aircraft (Articles 31 and 34 of the Convention). ADDITIONAL PROTOCOL TO THE CONVENTION FOR THE REGULATION OF AERIAL NAVIGATION OF OCTOBER 13, 1919, PROCÈS-VERBAL OF THE DEPOSIT OF RATIFICATIONS AND NOTIFICATION OF THE ACCESSION OF PERSIA No. 1 1 Additional Protocol to the Convention of October 13, 1919, relating to the Regulation of Aerial Navigation The high contracting parties declare themselves ready to grant, at the request of signatory or adhering states who are concerned, certain derogations to Article 5 of the convention, but only where they consider the reasons involved worthy of consideration. The requests should be addressed to the Government of the French Republic, who will lay them before the International Commission on Aerial Navigation provided for in Article 34 of the convention. The International Commission on Aerial Navigation will examine each request, which may only be submitted for the acceptance of the contracting states if it has been approved by at least a two-thirds majority of the total possible number of votes, that is to say, of the total number of votes which could be given if the representatives of all the states were present. Each derogation which is granted must be expressly accepted by the contracting states before coming into effect. The derogation granted will authorize the contracting state profiting thereby to allow the aircraft of one or more named non-contracting states to fly over its territory, but only for a limited period of time fixed by the text of the decision granting the derogation. At the expiration of this period the derogation will be automatically renewed for a similar period unless one of the contracting states has declared its opposition to such renewal. Further, the high contracting parties decide to fix June 1, 1920, as the date up to which the present protocol may be signed, and, on account of the 1 British Treaty Series, 1922, No. 11. bearing which the present protocol has on the convention of October 13, 1919, to prolong until that date the period under which the above-mentioned convention may be signed. Done at Paris, the first of May, nineteen hundred and twenty, in a single copy, which shall remain deposited in the archives of the Government of the French Republic, and of which authenticated copies will be transferred to the contracting states. The said copy, dated as above, may be signed up to and inclusive of the first day of June, nineteen hundred and twenty. In faith whereof, the undermentioned plenipotentiaries, whose powers have been found in good and due form, have signed the present protocol, of which the French, English and Italian text will be recognized as of equal validity.
