To načelo se uporablja pri carinah in drugih dajatvah s podobnim učinkom, ki se zaračunavajo za izvoz, uvoz, in pri načinu plačila ter pri vseh predpisih in formalnostih v zvezi z izvozom in uvozom. 2.

Medsebojna dobava blaga temelji na pogodbah, sklenjenih med fizičnimi in pravnimi osebami pogodbenic v skladu z veljavnimi zakoni in predpisi pogodbenic in običajno trgovsko prakso glede cen, kakovosti, dobave in plačilnih pogojev.
