Diplomatic privilege governs export exemptions: accredited diplomats' household goods allowed exemption, stuffing at residences prohibited. The standing direction requires cessation of the practice of permitting empty containers to be taken to diplomats' residences for stuffing. Exemption from examination on export will be extended only to accredited diplomats upon a request from the diplomatic mission expressly stating that the individual enjoys the Convention privilege. Goods of other mission staff are to be examined and cleared under normal customs procedures.
