•  Customs area

  A customs area is an area designated for storage of commercial goods that have not yet cleared customs. It is surrounded by a customs border. Most international airports and harbours have designated customs areas, sometimes covering the whole facility and including extensive storage warehouses. While territorially part of the country of the customs authorities, goods within the customs area have not technically entered the country yet, and may later be subject to customs duties.

•  Natural prolongation

  A legal concept introduced in maritime claims submitted to the United Nations. It is a concept where a nation's maritime boundaries should reflect the 'natural prolongation' of where it's land territory reaches the coast. It was essentially designed to settle disputes where adjoining nations were on the same contiguous shelf. Brought into existence in 1969 in the North Sea Continental Cases it usefulness eventually declined as UNCLOS III was taking shape.

•  Fairfax Line

  The Fairfax Line was a surveyor's line run in 1746 to establish the limits of the "Northern Neck land grant" in colonial Virginia. The land grant, first contrived in 1649, encompassed all lands bounded by the Potomac and Rappahannock Rivers, up to 5,000,000 acres. By 1719, the lands had been inherited by Thomas Fairfax, 6th Lord Fairfax of Cameron (1693-1781). By that time the question of the boundaries of the designated lands had also become highly contentious.
