For the purposes of extradition and the assessment of double criminality, drug trafficking offences may be considered “importation offences” even where the narcotics merely transit through the requesting State, provided that the Record of the Case supports a reasonable inference that the drugs entered, or were intended to enter, that jurisdiction in the context of the alleged conspiracy.
