prohibitions or restrictions. In certain circumstances a UK export licence or an import/export licence for countries to be visited or crossed in transit may be

required. For UK information please contact Dept for Business, Innovation and Skills on 0207 215 4594, www.bis.gov.uk

and additional charges to which the goods listed would becom e liable on importation into any one of the countries for which the Carnet is valid, plus a

Any guarantee/deposit will be returned when the Carnet is surrendered to CMS and found to be correctly discharged.

CMS may require sight of either a duty paid invoice or customs entry for foreign goods declared on the Carnet.

Foreign goods temporarily imported into the EC under a Customs Temporary Importation Concession do not qualify for inclusion on a Carnet.

equipment a minimum of 6 months, and for imports covered by a blue transit voucher, the period of transit is at the discretion of the Customs authorities
