Section 6

Section 6

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement, airlines of both Parties shall be permitted, without restriction, to employ in connection with international air transportation any surface transportation company which has appropriate permission from the respective authorities to engage in surface transportation of cargo to or from any points in the territories of the Parties or in third countries, including transport to and from all airports with customs facilities, and including, where applicable, the right to transport cargo in bond under applicable law and regulations. Such cargo, whether moving by surface or by air, shall have, pursuant to relevant non-discriminatory procedures and regulations, access to airport customs processing and facilities. Designated airlines may elect to perform their own surface transportation or to provide it through arrangements with other surface carriers, including surface transportation operated by other airlines and indirect providers of cargo transportation pursuant to the condition that any surface carrier shall have the appropriate permission to engage in surface transportation of cargo. Such intermodal cargo services may be offered at a single through price for the air and surface transportation combined, provided that shippers are not misled as to the facts concerning such transportation.
