1. Vsaka izmed držav pogodbenic se strinja, da bo v šestih mesecih po tem, ko začne veljati ta sporazum v dotični državi, oprostila vsa gradiva, ki izvirajo z ozemlja druge države pogodbenice, vseh carinskih dajatev in količinskih omejitev ter da ne bo treba prositi za uvozno dovoljenje, ne glede na to, ali je uvoz začasen ali stalen.
2. V nobenem primeru ta sporazum ne oprošča gradiva tistih davkov, prispevkov, stroškov ali znižanja dajatev, ki so določeni na uvoz vseh artiklov brez izjeme plačila in ne glede na njihovo naravo in poreklo, četudi so oproščeni carinskih dajatev; med te davke, prispevke in znižane dajatve so vključene, vendar niso omejene samo nanje, nominalne davčne izravnave in kolkovanje.
3. Gradiva, ki uživajo ugodnosti, omenjene v 1. odstavku tega člena, so v državi uvoznici oproščena vseh notranjih davkov, dajatev, prispevkov ali plačil, ki so drugačni ali višji za podobne proizvode v tej državi, ter so deležna najmanj enakega tretmana, kot je predviden za podobne proizvode te države glede na vse notranje zakone, določila ali zahtevke, ki vplivajo na njihovo prodajo prevoz ali distribucijo ter na procesiranje, razstavljanje ali drugo uporabo.
4. Ta sporazum z ničemer ne zahteva, da država pogodbenica odkloni tretman, kot ga predvideva ta člen, podobnim izobraževalnim, znanstvenim in kulturnim gradivom, ki izvirajo iz katerekoli države, ki ni podpisnica tega sporazuma, v kateremkoli primeru, v katerem bi bila zavrnitev takega tretmana v nasprotju s katerokoli mednarodno obveznostjo ali s komericalno politiko države pogodbenice.

1. Za pridobitev oprostitve, ki jo omogoča ta sporazum za gradiva, za katera se prosi dovoljenje za vstop na območje države pogodbenice, se izpolni potrdilo, da so gradiva izobraževalnega, znanstvenega in kulturnega značaja v smislu 1. člena.
2. Potrdilo izda ustrezen vladni urad države, iz katere izhaja to gradivo, ali pa ga izda Organizacija Združenih narodov za izobraževanje, znanost in kulturo kot to določa 3. odstavek tega člena na obrazcih, ki so priloženi temu sporazumu. Predpisani obrazci potrdila se lahko dopolnijo ali popravijo na osnovi medsebojnega sporazuma držav pogodbenic, s tem da so dopolnila ali popravki v skladu z določili tega sporazuma.
3. Organizacija Združenih narodov za izobraževanje, znanost in kulturo izdaja potrdila za gradiva izobraževalnega, znanstvenega in kulturnega značaja, ki jih izdajajo mednarodne organizacije, ki jih priznavajo Združeni narodi ali katerakoli izmed njenih specializiranih agencij.
4. Pri izpolnjevanju takega potrdila je potreben sklep vladnega urada države pogodbenice, katero se prosi za vstop, da se gradivu priznavajo olajšave na osnovi 3. člena 1. odstavka tega sporazuma. Ta sklep se sprejme po pregledu gradiva in na osnovi upoštevanja standardov, ki jih določa 1. člen. Če po pregledu tak organ države pogodbenice, katero se prosi za vstop, ne namerava odobriti olajšave gradivom, ki jih predvideva 3. člen 1. odstavek, ker niso izobraževalnega, znanstvenega in kulturnega značaja, potem se o tem obvesti vlado države, ki je izdala potrdilo za gradivo, ali Unesco, odvisno od primera, še pred končnim odlokom, da bi se ji omogočilo, da posreduje s prijateljskim aktom v podporo oprostitve teh gradiv pri vladi države, katero se prosi za vstop teh gradiv.
5. Vladna agencija države podpisnice, katero se prosi za vstopno dovoljenje, ima pravico uvozniku gradiva predpisati regulative, s katerimi zagotovi, da se bodo ta gradiva uporabljala izključno samo za neprofitne namene.
6. Odlok, ki ga na osnovi 4. odstavka tega člena izda ustrezen urad države pogodbenice, katero se prosi za vstopno dovoljenje, je dokončen, vendar je omenjeni urad pri pripravi odloka dolžan posvetiti ustrezen razmislek vsakršnemu aktu, ki ga bo njegovi vladi posredovala vlada, ki je izdaja potrdilo o gradivu, oziroma Unesco, odvisno od primera.

Ta sporazum z ničemer ne vpliva na pravico vlade pogodbenice, da pregleda gradivo v skladu s svojimi zakoni ali da sprejme ukrepe, ki prepovedujejo ali omejujejo uvoz gradiva, če za to obstajajo razlogi javne varnosti ali reda.

Vsaka država pogodbenica bo poslala Organizaciji Združenih narodov za izobraževanje, znanost in kulturo kopijo vsakega potrdila, ki ga izda za gradiva, ki izvirajo z njenega ozemlja, in bo obvestila Organizacijo Združenih narodov za izobraževanje, znanost in kulturo o odlokih in razlogih za vsako zavrnitev upoštevanja potrjenih gradiv iz druge države pogodbenice, za katere se prosi za vstopno dovoljenje na njeno ozemlje. Organizacija Združenih narodov za izobraževanje, znanost in kulturo bo to sporočilo poslala vsem državam pogodbenicam in bo stalno vodila in tiskala v angleščini in francoščini kataloge gradiv z vsemi priloženimi potrdili in odloki, ki se nanašajo na ta gradiva.

Države pogodbenice bodo skupno pretehtale ukrepe o zmanjševanju na minimum tistih restrikcij, ki niso odstranjene s tem sporazumom, in bi lahko posegale v mednarodno kroženje gradiv iz 1. člena.

Vsaka država pogodbenica bo v roku šestih mesecev po tem, ko začne veljati ta sporazum, poslala Organizaciji Združenih narodov za izobraževanje, znanost in kulturo vse ukrepe, ki veljajo za njeno ozemlje, ki zadevajo izvajanje določil tega sporazuma. Organizacija Združenih narodov za izobraževanje, znanost in kulturo bo to informacijo, ko jo prejme, posredovala vsem državam pogodbenicam.

(c) when the technical quality is such that it does not interfere with the use made of the material.

4. Nothing in this Agreement shall require any contracting State to deny the treatment provided for in this article to like material of an educational, scientific or cultural character originating in any State not a party to. this Agreement in any case in which the denial of such treatment would be contrary to an international obligation or to the commercial policy of such contracting State.
