Alternative identification measures to sealing
This section has no associated Explanatory Memorandum
24.—(1) By way of derogation from paragraph 21, HMRC may decide not to seal the goods subject to the common transit procedure and instead rely on the description of the goods in the declaration or in the supplementary documents, provided that the description is sufficiently precise to permit easy identification of the goods and states their quantity, nature and any special features such as serial numbers of the goods.
(2) By way of derogation from paragraph 21, unless HMRC decide otherwise, neither the means of transport nor the individual packages containing the goods need be sealed where—
(a)the goods are carried by air, and either labels are affixed to each consignment bearing the number of the accompanying airway bill, or the consignment constitutes a load unit on which the number of the accompanying airway bill is indicated; or
(b)the goods are carried by rail, and identification measures are applied by the railway companies.
