<h1>UN Agencies Enjoy Customs Duty Exemptions Under 1947 Act for Official Imports and Personal Effects</h1> The United Nations (Privileges and Immunities) Act, 1947, provides customs duty exemptions for the UN, its agencies, and officials. Articles imported or exported by specialized agencies for official use and publications are exempt from customs duties. Representatives and officials enjoy immunities similar to diplomatic envoys, including exemptions for personal baggage and duty-free import of furniture and effects when assuming posts. These privileges extend to various international organizations like WHO, UNESCO, and others. Specific agreements, such as with WHO, allow exemptions for medical supplies and personal imports, with conditions on resale within three years.
