Preamble
The Contracting Parties to the present Convention established under the auspices of the Customs Co-operation Council on the initiative of and in consultation with the International Labour Organisation,
Desiring to promote the welfare of seafarers on ships in international maritime traffic,
Convinced that the adoption of uniform Customs provisions to facilitate the transfer of welfare material and its utilisation by seafarers can contribute to this end,
The provisions of the present Convention set out the minimum facilities to be accorded. They do not prevent the application of greater facilities which certain Contracting Parties grant or may grant in future by unilateral provisions or in virtue of bilateral and multilateral agreements.
For the purpose of the present Convention the territories of Contracting Parties which form a Customs or economic union may be taken to be a single territory.
Any substitution, false declaration or act having the effect of causing a person or goods improperly to benefit from the facilities provided for in the present Convention, may render the offender liable in the country where the offence was committed to the penalties prescribed by the laws and regulations of that country and to payment of any import duties and taxes chargeable.
