Extraditable Offences. 1. For the purposes of this Treaty, extraditable offences are offences which are punishable under the laws of both States by imprisonment for a maximum period of at least one year or by a more severe penalty. Where the request for extradition relates to a person convicted of such an offence who is wanted for the enforcement of a sentence of imprisonment, extradition shall be granted only if a period of at least six months of such penalty remains to be served.
2. For the purpose of this Article in determining whether an offence is an offence against the laws of both States:
(a) the acts or omissions constituting the offence must, if they had taken place in the Requested State, be an offence against the law of the Requested State at the time the request is made;
(b) it shall not matter whether the laws of the States place the acts or omissions constituting the offence within the same category of offence or denominate the offence by the same terminology;
(c) the totality of the acts or omissions alleged against the person whose extradition is sought shall be taken into account and it shall not matter whether, under the laws of the States, the constituent elements of the offence differ.
3. Where extradition of a person is sought for an offence against a law relating to taxation, customs duties, foreign exchange control or other revenue matters, extradition may not be refused on the ground that the law of the Requested State does not impose the same kind of tax or duty or does not contain a tax, duty, customs, or exchange regulation of the same kind as the law of the Requesting State.
4. Where the offence has been committed outside the territory of the Requesting State, extradition shall be granted where the law of the Requested State provides for the punishment of an offence committed outside its territory in similar circumstances. Where the law of the Requested State does not so provide the Requested State may, in its discretion, grant extradition.
Extraditable Offences. Hot pursuit shall be carried out only under the following general conditions:
Extraditable Offences. 1. Extradition shall be granted only when the act for which the extradition is requested constitutes an offence under the laws of both Parties and meets one of the following conditions:

(b) where the request for extradition is aimed at executing a sentence imposed, a period of sentence that remains to be served by the person sought is at least six months at the time when the request for extradition is made.
2. In determining whether an act constitutes an offence under the laws of both Parties in accordance with Paragraph 1 of this Article, it shall not matter whether the laws of both Parties place the act within the same category of offence or denominate the offence by the same terminology.
3. If the request for extradition concerns two or more acts each of which constitutes offence under the laws of both Parties and at least one of which fulfils the conditions provided for in Paragraph 1 of this Article, the Requested Party may grant extradition for all of those acts.

2. For the purpose of this Article, it shall not matter:
(a) whether the laws of the Contracting Parties place the offence within the same category of offence or denominate the offence by the same terminology; or
(b) whether the offence is one for which United States federal law requires proof of interstate transportation, or use of the mails or of other facilities affecting interstate or foreign commerce, such matters being merely for the purpose of establishing jurisdiction in a United States federal court.
3. Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph 1 of this Article, extradition shall also be granted for attempt and conspiracy to commit, aiding, abetting, counselling, procuring, inciting, or otherwise being an accessory to the commission of, an offence referred to in paragraph 1.

Extraditable Offences. 1. In accordance with the provisions of this Treaty, extradition shall be granted when:
a) the request for extradition is made to carry out criminal proceedings and the offence is punishable, pursuant to the law of both Parties, by a sentence of at least one year.

4. If the request for extradition includes several separate offences, each of which is punishable under the laws of both Parties, but some of which do not fulfil the other conditions set out in paragraph 1 of this Article, the Requested Party may grant extradition for the latter offences, provided that the person is to be extradited for at least one of these offences.

Extraditable Offences. 1. Extradition shall be granted in respect of criminal offences punishable, under the laws of both Parties, by imprisonment for a period of at least one year or by a more severe penalty.

2. In addition, if extradition is requested for the purpose of enforcing a sentence imposed by a court of the requesting Party, the remaining term of the sentence to be served must be at least six months at the time of the extradition request.

4. When extradition is requested for an offence against laws relating to taxation, customs duties, exchange controls or other tax matters, extradition may not be refused on the ground that the legislation of the requested Party does not impose the same type of taxes, duties or customs duties, or does not provide for rules similar to those of the requesting Party’s legislation on taxes, duties, customs duties or exchange controls.

Extraditable Offences. 1. An offence shall be an extraditable offence if it is punish- able under the laws of the requesting and requested States by deprivation of liberty for a maximum period of more than one year or by a more severe penalty.

3. For the purposes of this Article, an offence shall be considered an extraditable offence:
(a) regardless of whether the laws in the requesting and requested States place the offence within the same category of offences or describe the offence by the same termi- nology;
(b) regardless of whether the offence is one for which United States federal law requires the showing of such matters as interstate transportation, or use of the mails or of other facilities affecting interstate or foreign commerce, such matters being merely for the purpose of establishing juris- diction in a United States federal court; and
(c) in criminal cases relating to taxes, customs duties, currency control and the import or export of commodities, regard- less of whether the laws of the requesting and requested States provide for the same kinds of taxes, customs duties, or controls on currency or on the import or export of the same kinds of commodities.
