All goods must be individually itemised with each item having its specific description (i.e. make, serial number), weight and value to facilitate Customs identification and prevent substitution of goods. Only the items with identical description can be grouped together.\n2. Packaging cannot be used for describing goods i.e. “box of”, “bag of” etc. are not acceptable. You can, however, state that the described item is packed in a bag or a box etc i.e. “set of Canon Camera lenses 80-200mm, s/n 1234, (packed in a box)”.\n3. Cables – cables can be described as “set of cables” with number of pieces being 1\n4. Toolkits – hand tools can be itemised as “toolkit” and must show weight. If the value of the toolkit is higher than £150.00 the description must also state the number of pieces in the set. Any electrical tools must be itemised separately as the term \"toolkit\" only applies to non electrical hand tools.\n5. All electrical items require serial numbers to be stated (if the item does not have one or it is illegible, then state NSN at the end of the description)\n6. Values declared must be retail values for new items (or if the goods are used, then state replacement value)\nRequirements for specific types of goods:\nAntiques\nGeneric description of the item (description must also state that the item is an antique + approximate year of manufacture or age (if known)). Pictures are advisable\nBoats\nMake, model, length, registration number (if applicable). Outboard engines as well as any other non-standard equipment must be itemised separately. Boats for personal use, transported by the owner do not need a Carnet (unless going to an official competition, exhibition or similar commercial event)\nBooks\nTitle, Author and publisher must be stated\nCatering equipment\nGoods to be displayed at exhibitions or used at an event. For catering trucks state make, model, registration no. If goods are fitted permanently into truck then state \"complete with gas oven, electric grill...\" after the vehicle description.\nNote - If providing chargeable catering services to public, you must declare income to the local tax authorities as Customs may request proof of this.\nClothing\nMust say what the garments are i.e.: jacket, dress, skirt with as much details as possible i.e. brand, colour and style number. For example - Calvin Klein black cotton t-shirt with flower embroidery, size XL\nATA Carnets for unfinished bespoke suits taken abroad for fitting can only be issued for Switzerland. Temporary admission and Return Goods Relief (RGR) should be utilised for exportation to any other country, as long as the suits do not increase in value + are not processed in any way whilst abroad\nComputer equipment\nGeneric description, make, model and serial number (if applicable).\nFor example - Hewlett Packard PC, HP ProDesk 400 G6 Desktop Mini with i7, s/n 12345\nConcert / musical equipment (electrical)\nGeneric description, make, model and serial number (if applicable)\nFor example - Electric guitar, Fender Stratocaster, s/n 12345\nDisplay stands\nFor panels, give sizes. If knockdown stands give either trade name, e.g. Marler Hayley and serial number with area and weight of stand when erected and at exhibition site. OR full breakdown and size of each panel (photographs useful)\nNote – if the holder is taking stands abroad to be built for the exhibition and this is being used by a local exhibitor (i.e. Swiss company in a Swiss exhibition) the Holder may be asked to prove that the income has been declared to the local tax authorities (this doesn’t apply for UK stands being built for a UK exhibitor as the financial transaction for this service would have occurred in the UK)\nElectrical items (includes computers, scientific equipment, electrical musical instruments etc)\nTrade names (make), model, serial numbers. If no serial numbers then holder should either:\n1 state that there are none (i.e. NSN)\n2 state the item is a prototy","cbCaitVYsoO6jhvG","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaitVYsoO6jhvG","docx",341665,"English","# General requirements\n## Requirements for specific types of goods\n## Antiques\n## Boats\n## Books\n## Catering equipment\n## Clothing\n## Computer equipment\n## Concert / musical equipment (electrical)\n## Display stands\n## Electrical items\n## Furniture\n## Horses\n## Jewellery\n## Loose precious stones\n## Machinery\n## Military goods\n## Music instruments","[{\"question\":\"What must each good’s entry include for general Carnet list requirements?\",\"answer\":\"Each item must be individually itemised with its specific description (e.g., make and serial number), weight and value to support Customs identification and prevent substitutions.
