In particular paragraphs 5.1 and 5.5
As I understand it, the normal requirements of an inventory itemized to
the level of carryable items applies (e.g. boxes etc) with approximate
value. If you have items of particular value that you're bringing back
into the EC(UK) note those in your inventory, and their value. Note
valuable items with serial numbers. |
