Article 63. Articles for the use of the public service of the foreign consulates may be imported free of duty, provided they arrive addressed to the respective legations, and that their free clearance through the Customs is requested by the heads of missions. This exemption will also be conceded on the basis of reciprocity. Article 64. The heads of missions must be careful that the articles coming within the foregoing Customs exemptions come in the names of the heads of missions, or of the respective members of the staff. Requests for free clearances of goods coming in the name of merchants, and included in commercial invoices, or in the names of persons who may be neither heads of missions nor of members of the staffs who have the right to import such objects, will not be entertained.
