cargo on voyages or flights that begin or
end in the United States, as determined in
Regulations section 1.883-1(f)(2). The

or lessee of one or more entire ships or

Equivalent exemption. A foreign
country grants an equivalent exemption
when it exempts from taxation income

country provides an equivalent exemption
must be determined separately with
respect to each category of income listed
on lines 2a through 2h of the schedule.
