Chapter I. Elimination of Customs Duties

Section 1. Common Provisions

Article 58. Scope

1. The provisions of this Chapter concerning the elimination of customs duties on imports shall apply to products originating in one Party and exported to the other Party. For the purposes of this Chapter, "originating" means qualifying under the rules of origin set out in Annex III.

2. The provisions of this Chapter concerning the elimination of customs duties on exports shall apply to all goods exported from one Party to the other Party.

Article 59. Customs Duty

A customs duty includes any duty or charge of any kind imposed in connection with the importation or exportation of a good, including any form of surtax or surcharge in connection with such importation or exportation, but does not include any:

(a) internal taxes or other internal charges imposed consistently with Article 77;

(b) antidumping or countervailing duties applied consistently with Article 78;

(c) fees or other charges imposed consistently with Article 63.

Article 60. Elimination of Customs Duties
