The refund of duties paid on importation, or the release of the security for payment of these duties, shall be effected without delay at any of the offices situated at the frontier or in the interior of the country which possess the necessary authority, and subject to the deduction of the duties payable on samples or specimens not produced for re-exportation. The Contracting States shall publish a list of the offices on which the said authority has been conferred.
Where identity cards are required, they must conform to the specimen annexed to this Article and be delivered by an authority designated for this purpose by the State in which the manufacturers or traders have their business headquarters. Subject to reciprocity, no consular or other visa shall be required on identity cards, unless a State shows that such a requirement is rendered necessary by special or exceptional circumstances. When a visa is required, its cost shall be as low as possible and shall not exceed the cost of the service.
The Contracting States shall, as soon as possible, communicate direct to each other, and also to the Secretariat of the League of Nations, a list of the authorities recognised as competent to issue identity cards.
Pending the introduction of the system defined above, facilities at present granted by States shall not be curtailed.
The provisions of the present Article, except those referring to identity cards, shall be applic- able to samples and specimens which are liable to import duties and the importation of which is not prohibited, when imported by manufacturers, traders or commercial travellers established in any of the Contracting States, even if not accompanied by the said manufacturers, traders, or commercial travellers.
