[F21. Without prejudice to paragraph 4, goods to be placed under the Community transit procedure shall not be released unless they are sealed. The office of departure shall take the identification measures it considers necessary and shall enter the relevant details in the transit declaration.]

Any road vehicle, trailer, semi-trailer or container approved for the carriage of goods under customs seal in accordance with an international agreement to which the European Community is a party shall be regarded as suitable for sealing.
[F24. The office of departure may dispense with sealing if, having regard to other possible measures for identification, the description of the goods in the data of the transit declaration or in the supplementary documents makes them readily identifiable.
A goods description shall be deemed to permit identification of the goods where it is sufficiently precise to permit easy identification of the quantity and nature of the goods.] ]
