Dodatki 1-8 so sestavni del Konvencije TIR 1975 – Carinske konvencije o mednarodnem prevozu blaga na podlagi karnetov TIR, ki je bila objavljena v Uradnem listu Republike Slovenije – Mednarodne pogodbe št. 9 z dne 17. julija 1992 (Uradni l. RS, št. 35/92).

Approval for the international transport of goods under Customs seal may be granted only to vehicles, the load compartments of which are constructed and equipped in such a manner that:
a) no goods can be removed from, or introduced into, the sealed part of the vehicle without leaving obvious traces of tampering or without breaking the Customs seal;
b) Customs seals can be simply and effectively affixed to them;
c) they contain no concealed spaces where goods may be hidden;
d) all spaces capable of holding goods are readily accessible for Customs inspection.

1. To meet the requirements of article 1 of these Regulations:
a) the constituent parts of the load compartment (sides, floor, doors, roof, uprights, frames, cross-piece's, etc.) shall be assembled either by means of devices which cannot be removed and replaced from the outside without leaving obvious traces or by such methods as will produce a structure which cannot be modified without leaving obvious traces. When the sides, floor, doors and roof are made up of various components, these shall meet the same requirements and be of sufficient strength;
b) doors and all other closing systems (including stopcocks, manhole-covers, flanges etc.) shall be fitted with a device on which Customs seals can be fixed. This device must be such that it cannot be removed and replaced from the outside without leaving obvious traces, or the door or fastening be opened without breaking the Customs seals. The latter shall be adequately protected. Opening roofs shall be permitted;
c) apertures for ventilation and drainage shall be provided with a device preventing access to the interior of the load compartment. This device must be such that it cannot be removed and replaced from the outside without leaving obvious traces.
2. Notwithstanding the provisions of article 1 (c) of these Regulations, constituent parts of the load compartment which, for practical reasons, have to include empty spaces (fot example, between the partitions of a double wall) shall be permitted. In order that the said spaces cannot be used to conceal goods:
i) where it covers the full height from floor to roof, or, in other cases, where the space between it and the outer wall is completely enclosed the lining inside the load compartment shall be so fitted that it cannot be removed and replaced without leaving obvious traces; and
ii) where a lining is of less than full height and the spaces between the lining and the outer wall are not completely enclosed, and in all other cases where spaces occur in the construction of a load compartment, the number of such spaces shall be kept to a minimum and these spaces shall be readily accessible for Customs inspection.
3. Windows shall be allowed provided that they are made of materials of sufficient strength and that they cannot be removed and replaced from the outside without leaving obvious traces. Glass shall nevertheless be permitted, but in this case the window shall be fitted with a fixed metal grille which cannot be removed from the outside; the mesh of the grille shall not exceed 10 mm.
4. Openings made in the floor for technical purposes, such as lubrication, maintenance and filling of the sandbox, shall be allowed only on condition that they are fitted with a cover capable of being fixed in such a way as to render the load compartment inaccessible from the outside.

1. Where applicable, the provisions of articles 1 and 2 of these Regulations shall apply to sheeted vehicles. In addition, these vehicles shall conform to the provisions of this articles.
2. The sheet shall be either of strong canvas or of plastic-covered or rubberized cloth, which shall be of sufficient strength and unstretchable. It shall be in good condition and made up in such a way that once the closing device has been secured, it is impossible to gain access to the load compartment without leaving obvious traces.
3. If the sheet is made up of several pieces, their edges shall be folded into one another and sewn together with two seams at least 15 mm apart. These seams shall be made as shown in sketch No. 1 appended to these Regulations; however, where in the case of certain parts of the sheet (such as flaps and reinforced corners) it is not possible to assemble the pieces in that way, it shall be sufficient to fold the edge of the top section and make the seams as shown in sketches Nos. 2 or 2 (a) appended to these Regulations. One of the seams shall be visible only from the inside and the colour of the thread used for that seam shall be clearly different from the colour of the sheet itself and from the colour of the thread used for the other seam. All seams shall be machinesewn.
4. If the sheet is of plastic-covered cloth v and is made up of several pieces, the pieces may alternatively be welded together in the manner shown in sketch No.
3 appended to these Regulations. The edges of the pieces shall overlap by at least 15 mm. The pieces shall be fused together over the whole width of the overlap. The edge of the outer sheet shall be covered with a band of plastic material at least 7 mm wide, affixed by the same welding process. The plastic band and the sheet on each side of it for a width of at least 3 mm shall have a clearly-defined uniform relief pattern stamped on them. The pieces shall be welded in such a way that they cannot be separated and rejoined without leaving obvious traces.
5. Repairs be made in accordance with the method described in sketch No. 4 appended to these Regulations; the edges shall be folded into one another and sewn together with two visible seams at least 15 mm apart; the colour of the thread visible from the inside shall be different from that of the thread visible from the outside and from that of the sheet itself; all seams shall be machine-sewn. When a sheet which has been damaged near the edges is repaired by replacing the damaged part by a patch, the seam can also be made in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 3 of this article and sketch N°1 appended to these Regulations. Sheets of plastic-covered cloth may alternatively be repaired in accordance with the method described in paragraph 4 of this article, but in that case the plastic band must be affixed to both sides of the sheet, the patch being fitted on the inside of the sheet.
6. a) The sheet shall be fixed to the vehicle in strict compliance with the conditions set forth in article 1 (a) and,(b) of these regulations. The following types of fastening shall be provided:
i) metal rings fixed to the vehicles;
ii) eyelets let into the edge of the sheet;
iii) a fastening passing through the rings above the sheet and visible from the outside for its entire length.
The sheet shall overlap solid parts of the vehicle by at least 250 mm, measured from the centre of the securing rings, unless the system of construction of the vehicle in itself prevents all access to the load compartment.
b) When any edge of a sheet is to be permanently secured to a vehicle, the joint shall be continuous and effected by means of solid devices.
7. The sheet shall be supported by an adequate superstructure (uprights, sides, arches, slats, etc.).
8. The spaces between the rings and the spaces between the eyelets shall not exceed 200 mm. The spaces may however be greater but shall not exceed 300 mm between rings and eyelets on either side of the upright if the construction of the vehicle and the sheet is such as to prevent all access to the load compartment. The eyelets shall be reinforced.
9. The following fastenings shall be used:
a) steel wire ropes of at least 3 mm diameter; or
b) ropes of hemp or sisal of at least 8 mm diameter encased in a transparent sheath of unstretchable plastic.
In cases where the sheet has to be fixed to the frame in a system of construction which otherwise complies with the provisions of paragraph 6 (a) of this article, a thong can be used as fastening (an example of such a system of construction is given in sketch No. 7 appended to this annex). The thong has to comply with the requirements stipulated in paragraph 11 (c) with regard to material, dimensions and shape.
10. Each rope shall be in one piece and have a hard metal end-piece at each end. The fastener of each metal end-piece shall include a hollow rivet passing through the rope so as to allow the introduction of the thread or strap of the Customs seal. The rope shall remain visible on either side of the hollow rivet so that it is possible to ensure that the rope is in one piece (see sketch No. 5 appended to these Regulations).
11. At the openings in the sheet, used for loading and unloading, the two edges of the sheet shall have an adequate overlap. They shall also be fastened by:
a) a flap sewn or welded in accordance with paragraphs 3 and 4 of this article;
b) rings and eyelets meeting the conditions of paragraph 8 of this article; and the rings shall be manufactured of metal and
c) a thong made of appropriate material, in one piece and unstretchable, at least 20 mm wide and 3 mm thick, passing through the rings "and holding together the. two edges of the sheet and the flap; the thong shall be secured inside the sheet and fitted either with
(i) an eyelet to take the rope mentioned in paragraph 9 of this article or
(ii) an eyelet which can be attached to a metal ring mentioned in paragraph 6 of this article and be secured by the rope mentioned in paragraph 9 of this article.
A flap shall not be required if a special device, such as a baffle plate, is fitted, which prevents access to the load compartment without leaving obvious traces.

1. Road vehicles may be approved by one of the following procedures:
a) individually, or
b) by design type (series of road vehicles).
2. An approval certificate conforming to the standard form of annex 4 shall be issued for approved vehicles. This certificate shall be printed in the language of the country of issue and in French or English. When the authority which has granted the approval deems it necessary, photographs or diagrams authenticated by that authority shall be. attached to the certificate. The number of those documents shall then be inserted by that authority under item No. 6 of the approval certificate.
3. The approval certificate shall be kept on the road vehicle.
4. Road vehicles shall be produced every two years, for the purposes of inspection and of renewal of approval where appropriate, to the competent authorities of the country in which the vehicle is registered or, in the case of unregistered vehicles, of the country in which the owner or user is resident.
5. If a road vehicle no longer complies with the technical conditions prescribed for its approval, it shall, before it can be used for the transport of goods under cover of TIR carnets, be restored to the condition which had justified its approval so as to comply again with the said technical conditions.
6. If the essential characteristic of a road vehicle are changed, the vehicle shall cease to be covered by the approval and shall be reapproved by the competent authority before it can be used for the transport of goods under cover of TIR carnets.
7. The competent authorities of the country of registration of the vehicle or, in the case of vehicles for which registration is not required, the competent authorities of the country where the owner or user of the vehicle is established may, as the case may be, withdraw or renew the approval certificate or issue a new approval certificate in the circumstances set out in article 14 of this Convention and in paragraphs 4, 5 and 6 of this annex.

8. The owner, the operator or the representative or either shall apply to the competent authority for individual approval. The competent authority shall inspect the road vehicle produced in accordance with the general rules laid down in paragraphs 1 to 7 above and shall satisfy itself that the vehicle complies with the technical conditions prescribed in annex 2, and after approval shall issue a certificate conforming to the model in annex 4.

9. Where road vehicles are manufactured by type series, the manufacturer may apply to the competent authority of the country of manufacture for approval by design-type.
10. The manufacturer shall state in his application the identification numbers or letters which he assigns to the type of road vehicle to which his application for approval relates.
11. The application shall be accompanied by drawings and a detailed design specification of the type of road vehicle to be approved.
12. The manufacturer shall give an undertaking in writing that he will:
a) Produce to the competent authority such vehicles of the type concerned as that authority may wish to examine;
b) permit the competent authority to examine further units at any time during the production of the type series concerned;
c) advise the competent authority of any change, however small, in the design or specification before proceeding with such change;
d) mark the road vehicles in a visible place with the identification numbers or letters of the design-type and the serial number of the vehicle in the type series (manufacturer's number);
e) keep a record of vehicles manufactured to the approved design-type.
13. The competent authority shall state what changes, if any, must be made to the proposed design-type in order that approval may be granted.
14. No approval by design-type shall be granted unless the competent authority has satisfied itself by examination of one or more vehicles manufactured to the design-type concerned that vehicles of that type comply with the technical conditions prescribed in annex 2.
15. The competent authority shall notify the manufacturer in writing of its decision to grant approval by design-type. This decision shall be dated and numbered. The authority which took the decision shall be clearly designated.
16. The competent authority shall take the necessary steps to issue an approval certificate, which it has duly signed, in respect of every vehicle built in conformity with an approved design-type.
17. The holder of the approval certificate shall, before using the vehicle for the carriage of goods under the cover of a TIR carnet, fill in, as may be required, on the approval certificate:
– the registration number given to the vehicle (item No. 1) or
– in the case of a vehicle not subject to registration, particulars of his name and business address (item No. 8).
18. When a vehicle which has been approved by design-type is exported to another country which is a Contracting Party to this Convention, no further approval procedure shall be required in that country on account of its importation.

19. When an approved vehicle, carrying goods under cover of a TIR carnet, is found to have major defects, the competent authorities of Contracting Parties may either refuse to allow the vehicle to continue its journey under a TIR carnet, or allow the vehicle to continue its journey under a TIR carnet on its territory while taking the necessary security precautions. The approved vehicle must be restored to a satisfactory state as rapidly as possible, and in any case before it is again used for the transport of goods under cover of a TIR carnet.
20. In each of these cases the Customs authorities shall make an appropriate endorsement in item No. 10 of the certificate of approval of the vehicle. When the vehicle has been restored to a condition which justifies approval, it shall be presented to the competent authorities of a Contracting Party who shall revalidate the certificate by adding an endorsement to item No. 11 cancelling the earlier observations. No vehicle, the certificate of which has been endorsed at item No. 10 under the provisions of the preceding paragraph, may again be used for the transport of goods under a TIR carnet until it has been restored to a satisfactory condition and until the endorsement in item No. 10 has been cancelled as stated above.
21. Each endorsement made on the certificate shall be dated and authenticated by the Customs authorities.
22. When a vehicle is found to have defects which the Customs authorities consider to be of minor importance and not involving the risk of smuggling, the continued use of the vehicle for the transport of goods under cover of a TIR carnet can be authorized. The holder of the approval certificate shall be notified of the defects and shall restore his vehicle to a satisfactory state within a reasonable time.

1. The dimensions of the plates shall be 250 mm by 400 mm.
2. The letters TIR in capital Latin characters shall be 200 mm high and their strokes at least 20 mm wide. The letters shall be white on a blue ground.

(i) In accordance with the provisions of article 43 of this Convention, the explanatory notes interpret certain provisions of this Convention and of its annexes. They also describe certain recommended practices.
(ii) The explanatory notes do hot modify the provisions of this Convention or of its annexes but merely make their contents, meaning and scope more precise.
(iii) In particular, having regard to the provisions of article 12 of this Convention and of annex 2 relating to the technical conditions for the approval of road vehicles for transport under Customs seal, the explanatory notes specify, where appropriate, the construction techniques to be accepted by the Contracting Parties as complying with those provisions. The explanatory notes also specify, where appropriate, which construction techniques do not comply with those provisions.
(iv) The explanatory notes provide a means of applying the provisions of this Convention and of its annexes so as to take into account the development of technology and economic requirements.

0.1 Article 1
b) The fees and charges excepted in article 1, subparagraph (b) mean all sums, other than import or export duties and taxes, levied by Contracting Parties on or in connextion with importation or exportation. These sums shall be limited in amount to the approximate cost of the services rendered and shall not represent an indirect protection to domestic products or a tax on imports or exports for fiscal purposes. Such fees and charges include inter alia payments relating to:
– certificates of origine if they are required for transit
– analyses carried out by Customs laboratories, for control purposes
– Customs inspections and other clearance operations carried out outside normal working hours or away from Customs offices
– inspections for sanitary, veterinary or phytopathological reasons.
e) The term "demountable body" means a load compartment which has no means of locomotion and which is designed to be transported upon a road vehicle, the chassis of which, together with the under-framing of the body, is specially adapted for this purpose.
e) i) The terme "partially enclosed" as applied to equipment in article 1, subparagraph (e) (i), relates to equipment generally consisting of a floor and a superstructure marking off a loading space equivalent to that of a closed container. The superstructure is generally made up of metal members forming the frame of a container. Containers of this type may also comprise one or more lateral or frontal walls. In some cases there is only a roof attached to the floor by uprights. This type of container is used in particular for the transport of bulky goods (motor cars, for example).
0.2 Article 2
0.2-1 Article 2 provides that a transport operation under cover of a TIR carnet may begin and end in the same country on condition that part of the journey is performed in foreign territory. In such cases there is nothing to prevent the Customs authorities of the country of departure from requiring, in addition to the TIR carnet, a national document, intended to ensure duty-free reimportation of the goods. It is nevertheless recommended that Customs authorties should not insist on the use of such a document but accept instead an appropriate endorsement on the TIR carnet.
0.2-2 The provisions of this article allow goods to be carried under cover of a TIR carnet when only part of the journey is made by road. They do not specify what part of the journey has to be made by road and it is sufficient that this should occur at some point between the beginning and the end of the TIR operation. However, it may happen that, for unforeseen reasons of a commercial or accidental nature, no part of the journey can be made by road, despite the intentions of the sender at the start of the journey. In these exceptional cases the Contracting Parties shall nevertheless accept the TIR carnet and the liability of the guaranteeing associations shall remain in force.
0.5 Article 5
This article does not exclude the right to carry out spot checks on the goods but stresses that these checks should be very limited in number. The international TIR carnet procedure, in fact, provides protection greater than that given by national procedures. Firstly the particulars on the TIR carnet relating to the goods must agree with the particulars given on the Customs documents which may be required in the country of departure. In addition the countries of transit and destination are given protection by the controls which are carried out at departure and which are certified by the Customs authorities at the office of departure. (See note below to article 19).
0.6.2 Article 6, paragraph 2
Under the provisions of this paragraph, the Customs authorities of a country may approve more than one association, each of which may incur liability arising from the discharge of the carnets issued by it or by its corresponding associations.
0.8.2 Article 8, paragraph 2
The provisions of this paragraph shall be applicable where, in case of irregularities of the type covered in article 8, paragraph 1, the laws and regulations of a Contracting Party provide for the payment of sums other than import or export duties and taxes, such as administrative fines or other pecuniary sanctions. However, the sum to be paid shall not exceed the amount of import or export duties and taxes which would have, been due if the goods had been imported or exported in accordance with the relevant customs provisions, this amount being increased, by any default interests.
0.8.3 Article 8, paragraph 3
Customs authorities are recommended to limit to a sum equal to 50,000 dollars US per TIR carnet the maximum amount which may be claimed from the guaranteeing association.
0.8.5 Article 8, paragraph 5
If the guarantee is questioned for goods not listed in the TIR Carnet, the administration concerned should indicate the facts on which it based its opinion that the goods were contained in the sealed section of the road vehicle or the sealed container.
0.8.6 Article 8, paragraph 6
1. In the absence in the TIR carnet of particulars detailed enough to enable charges on the goods to be determined, the parties concerned may produce evidence of their precise nature.
2. If no evidence is furnished, duties and taxes will be charged, not at a flat rate unrelated to the nature of the goods, but at the highest rate applicable to the kind of goods covered by the particulars in the TIR carnet.
0.10 Article 10
The certificate of discharge of TIR carnet shall be regarded as having been obtained in an improper or fraudulent manner when the TIR operation has been carried out by means of load compartments or containers adapted for fraudulent purposes, or when such malpractices as the use of false or inaccurate documents, the substitution of goods, tampering with Customs seals, etc., have been discovered, or when the certificate has been obtained by other illicit means.
0.11 Article 11
0.11-1 In deciding whether or not to release the goods or vehicle, Customs authorities should not, when they have other means in law of protecting the interests for which they are responsible, be influenced by the fact that the guaranteeing association is liable for the payment of duties, taxes and default interest payable by the holder of the carnet.
0.11-2 If a guaranteeing association is asked, in accordance with the procedure set out in article 11, to pay the sums referred to in article 8, paragraphs 1 and 2, and fails to do so within the time-limit of three months prescribed by the Convention, the competent authorities may rely on national regulations in requiring payment of the sums in question because what is involved in such cases is a failure to carry out a contract of guarantee entered into by the guaranteeing association under national law.
0.15 Article 15
Certain difficulties may arise in the case of vehicles not subject to registration, such as in some countries, trailers or semi-trailers, when Customs documents are not required for temporary admission. In that case, the provisions of article 15 may be observed, while assuring adequate protection for the Customs authorities, by recording particulars of these vehicles (make and numbers) on vouchers 1 and 2 of the TIR carnet used by the countries concerned 'and on the corresponding counterfoils.
0.17 Article 17
0.17-1 The provision that the manifest of the goods covered by the TIR carnet shall show separately the contents of each vehicle of a combination of vehicle, or of each container, is only intended to simplify Customs inspection of the contents of each vehicle or container. This provision shall not therefore be interpreted so rigidly that each variation between the actual contents of a vehicle or container and the contents of that vehicle or container as shown on the manifest is considered a breach of the provisions of the Convention. If the carrier can satisfy the relevant authorities that, notwithstanding such a variation, all the goods shown on the manifest agree with the total of goods loaded in the combination of vehicle or in all the containers covered by the TIR carnet, this shall not normally be considered a breach of Customs requirements.
0.17-2 In the case of household removale, the procedure laid down in paragraph 10 (c) of the Rules for the use of the TIR carnet can be applied, the list of articles concerned being reasonably condensed.
0.18 Article 18
0.18-1 It is essential for the smooth operation of the TIR procedure that the Customs authorities of one country should refuse to designate a Customs office of exit as a Customs office of destination for a transport operation which is going on to a neighbouring country when that country is also a Contracting Party to this (sonvention, unless there are some special circumstances to justify the request.
0.18-2.1. Goods should be so loaded that the consignment to be unloaded at the first unloading point can be taken out of the vehicle or the container without it being necessary to unload the other consignment or consignments of goods due to be unloaded at the other unloading points.
2. Where a transport operation involves unloading at more than one office it is necessary that, after a partial unloading, a record of it should be made in box 12 on all the remaining manifests of the TIR carnet, and at the same time another record should be made on the remaining vouchers and the corresponding counterfoils to the effect that new seals have been affixed.
0.19 Article 19
The requirement that the Customs office of departure should check the accuracy of the goods manifest implies the need to verify at least that the particulars in the goods manifest tally with those in the export documents and in the transport or other commercial documents relating to the goods; the Customs office of departure may also have to examine the goods. The Customs office of departure must also, before affixing seals, check the condition of the road vehicle or container and, in the case of sheeted vehicles or containers, the condition of the sheets and sheet fastenings, as this equipment is not included in the certificate of approval.
0.20 Article 20
When fixing time-limits for the transport of goods within their territory, Customs authorities must likewise take into account inter alia any special regulations to which carriers are subject, particulary regulations concerning working hours and mandatory rest periods for drivers of road vehicles. It is recommended that these authorities should exercise their right to prescribe, a route only when they consider it essential.
0.21 Article 21
0.21-1 The provisions of this article do not restrict the right of Customs authorities to examine all parts of a vehicle other than the sealed load compartment.
0.21-2 The Customs office of entry may turn back the carrier to the Customs office of exit of the adjacent country if it finds that no clearance has been given by that office or that clearance has not been given in due form. In such cases the Customs office of entry inserts a note in the TIR carnet for the Customs office of exit concerned.
0.21-3 If in the course of an examination, Customs authorities draw sample of goods, a note recording full particulars of the goods taken must be made by those authorities on the goods manifest of the TIR carnet.
0.28 Article 28
1. Article 28 provides that discharge of the TIR carnet at the office of destination shall take place without delay, on condition that the goods are placed under another Customs procedure or cleared for home use.
2. The use of TIR carnet must be restricted to the function which it was intended to cover, namely the transit operation. The TIR carnet must not, for example, be used to cover the storage of goods under Customs control at destination. Where no irregularity has taken place, the office of destination must discharge the TIR carnet as soon as the goods covered by the carnet have come under another Customs procedure or have been cleared for home use. In practice discharge must be given as soon as the goods have been directly re-exported (as, for example, when they are shipped on arrival at a port), or as soon as a declaration for Customs purpose has been made at the place of destination, or as soon as the goods have been received into a place approved for storage while awaiting a declaration for Customs purposes (for example, a transit shed), in accordance with the regulations in force in the country of destination.
0.29 Article 29
No certificate of approval is required for road vehicles or containers transporting heavy or bulky goods. It is, nevertheless, the responsibility of the Customs office of departure to make sure that the other conditions laid down in this article for this type of transport operation are met. Customs offices of other Contracting Parties shall accept the decision of the Customs office of departure unless in their opinion it is cleary in conflict with the provisions of article 29.
0.38.1 Article 38, paragraph 1
A business enterprise should not be excluded from the TIR system because of offences committed by one of its drivers without the knowledge of the management.
0.38.2 Article 38, paragraph 2
Where a Contracting Party has been notified that a person established or resident in its territory has committed an offence on the territory of a foreign country, it need not cease to allow the issue of TIR carnets to that person.
0.39 Article 39
The expression "mistakes committed through negligence" is to be taken to mean acts which, although not committed deliberately and in full knowledge of the facts, are due to a failure to take reasonable and necessary steps to ensure the accuracy of the facts in any particular case.
0.45 Article 45
Contracting Parties are recommended to make the largest possible number of Customs offices, both inland and at the frontier, available for dealing with TIR operations.

1.10 c) Rules regarding the use of the TIR camet – Loading lists annexed to the goods manifest
N° 10 c) of the rules regarding the use of the TIR carnet permits the use of loading lists as annex to the TIR carnet even when there would otherwise be enough space in the manifest to enter all the goods carried. However, this is permissible only if the loading lists contain all the particulars required by the goods manifest in legible and recognizable form and all other provisions of Rule 10 c) are complied with.

2.2 Article 2
2.2.1 (a) Subparagraph 1 (a) – Assembly of constituent parts
(a) Where joining devices (rivets, screws, boits and nuts, etc.) are used, a sufficient number of such devices shall be inserted from outside, traverse the assembled constituent parts, protrude inside and there be firmly secured (e.g. riveted, welded, bushed or bolted and swaged or welded on the nut). However, coventional rivets (i.e. rivets whose placing requires handling from both sides of the assembly of constituent parts) may also be inserted from the inside. Notwithstanding the above, load compartment floors may be secured by means of self-tapping screws, self-drilling rivets or rivets inserted by means of an explosive charge or pins inserted pneumatically, when placed from inside and passing at right-angles through the floor and the metallic cross-pieces underneath, on condition, except in the case of self-tapping screws, that some of their ends be flush with the level of the outside part of the cross-piece or be welded on to it.
(b) The competent authority shall determine what joining devices, and how many of them, must fulfil the requirements of subparagraph (a) of this note; they shall do so by making sure that the constituent parts so assembled cannot be displaced and replaced without leaving obvious traces. The choice and placing of other joining devices are not subject to any restriction.
(c) Joining devices which can be removed and replaced from one side without leaving obvious traces, i. e. without requiring handling from both sides of the constituent parts to be assembled, shall not be allowed under subparagraph (a) of this note. Examples of such devices are expansion rivets, blind rivets and the like.
(d) The assembly methods described above shall apply to special vehicles, for example to insulated vehicles, refrigerated vehicles and tank-vehicles in so far as they are not incompatible with the technical requirements which such vehicles must fulfil having regard to their use. Where, due to technical reasons, it is not practicable to secure parts in. the manner described in subparagraph (a) of this note, the constituent parts may be joined by means of the devices mentioned in subparagraph (c) of this note provided that the devices used on the inner face of the wall are not accessible from the outside.
2.2.1 (b) Subparagraph 1 (b) – Doors and other closing systems
(a) The device on which Customs seals can be fixed must:
(i) be sucered by welding, or by not less than two joining devices conforming to subparagraph (a) of explanatory note 2.2. 1 (a); or
(ii) be so designed that when the load compartment has been closed and sealed the device cannot be removed without leaving obvious traces.
It must also:
(iii) incorporate holes of not less than 11 mm in diameter or slots of at least 11 mm in length by 3 mm in width, and
(iv) afford equal security whatever type of seal is used
b) Butt hinges, strap hinges, hinge-pins and other devices for hanging doors and the like must be secured in conformity with the requirements of subparagraphs (a) (i) and (ii) of this note. Moreover, the various components of such devices, (e.g. hinge plates, pins or swivels), provided that they are necessary to guarantee customs security of the load compartment (See sketch no la appended to this annex), shall be so fitted that they cannot be removed or dismantled when the load compartment is closed and sealed without leaving obvious traces. However, where such a device is not accessible from outside it will suffice if, when the door or the like has been closed and sealed, it cannot be detached from the hinge or similar device without leaving obvious traces. Where a door or closure-device has more than two hinges, only those two hinges nearest to the extremities of the door need to be fixed in conformity with the requirements of subparagraph (a) (i) and (ii) above.
c) Exceptionaly, in the case of vehicles having insulated load compartements, the Customs sealing device, the hinges and any fittings, the removal of which would give access to the interior of the load compartment or to spaces in which goods could be concealed, may be fixed to the doors of such load compartments by means of set bolts or set screws which are inserted from the outside but which do not otherwise meet the requirements of Explanatory Note 2.2.1 (a), subparagraph (a) above, on condition that:
i) the tails of the set bolts or set screws are fixed into a tapping plate or similar device fitted behind the outer layer or layers of the door structure; and
ii) the heads of the appropriate number of set bolts or set screws are so welded to the Customs sealing device, hinges etc., that they are completely deformed and that the set bolts or set screws cannot be removed without leaving visible signs of tampering (See sketch No. 1 appended to this annex).
The term "insulated load compartment" is to be taken to include refrigerated and isothermic load compartments.
d) Vehicles comprising a large number of such closures as valves, stepcocks, manhole covers, flanges and the like must be designed so as, to keep the number of Customs seals to a minimum. To this end, neighbouring closures must be interconnected by a common device requiring only one Customs seal, or must be provided with a cover meeting the same purpose.
e) Vehicles with opening roofs must be constructed in such a manner as to permit sealing with a minimum number of Customs seals.

2.3.11 (a) Subparagraph 11 (a) – Sheet-tensioning flaps
The sheets of many vehicles are provided on the outside with a horizontal flap pierced by eyelets running along the length of the side of the vehicle. Such flaps, known as tensioning flaps, are used to tauten the sheet by means of tensioning cords or similar devices. Such flaps have been used to conceal horizontal slits made in the sheets giving improper access to the goods carried in the vehicle. It is therefore recommended that the use of flaps of this type should not be allowed. The following devices may be used instead;
(a) tensioning flaps of similar design fixed on the inside of the sheet; or
(b) small individual flaps each pierced by one eyelet secured to the outside surface of the sheet and spaced at such distances as will, permit an adequate tensioning of the sheet..
Alternatively, it may be possible in certain cases to avoid the use of tensioning flaps on sheets.

2.3.11 (c)-2 The device shown in sketch No. 3 appended to this annex meets the requirements of the last part of annex 2, article 3, paragraph 11. It also meets the requirements of annex 2, article 3, paragraph 6.

3.0.17 Approval procedure
1. Annex 3 provide that the competent authorities of a Contracting Party may issue a certificate of approval in respect of a vehicle constructed within its territory and that no additional approval procedures shall be applied in respect of such a vehicle in the country, where it is registered or, as the case may be, where the owner is resident.
2. These provisions are not intended to restrict the right of the competent authorities of the Contracting Party where the vehicle is registered or where the owner is resident to require the production of such a certificate of approval either at importation or subsequently for purposes connected with the registration or control of the vehicle or with similar legal requirements.
3.0.20 Procedure for endorsement of certificate of approval
When an endorsement concerning defects is to be cancelled after the vehicle has been restored to a satisfactory state, it is sufficient to state, under item No. 11 provided for the purpose, "Defects rectified" followed by the name, signature and stamp of the competent authority concerned.

Approval for the international transport of goods under Customs seal may be. granted only to containers constructed and equipped in such a manner that:
(a) no goods can be removed from, or introduced into, the sealed part of the container without leaving visible traces of tampering or without breaking the Customs seal;
(b) Customs seals can be simply and effectively affixed to them;
(c) they contain no concealed spaces where goods may be hidden;
(d) all spaces capable of holding goods are readily accessible for Customs inspection.

1. To meet the requirements of article 1 of these Regulations:
(a) the constituent parts of the container (sides, floor, doors, roof, uprights, frames, cross-pieces, etc.) shall be assembled either by means of devices which cannot be removed and replaced from the outside without leaving visible traces or by such methods as will produce a structure which cannot be modified without leaving visible traces. When the sides, floor, doors and roof are made up of various components, these shall meet the same requirements and be of sufficient strength;
(b) doors and all other closing systems (including stopcocks, manhole-covers, flanges, etc.) shall be fitted with a device on which Customs seals can be fixed. This device must be such that it cannot be removed and replaced from outside the container without leaving visible traces, or the door or fastening be opened without breaking the Customs seals. The latter shall be adequately protected. Opening roofs shall be permitted;
(c) apertures for ventilation and drainege shall be provided with a device preventing access to the interior of the container. This device must be such that it cannot be removed and replaced from outside the container without leaving visible traces.
2. Notwithstanding the provisions of article 1 (c) of these Regulations, constituent parts of the container which, for practical reasons, have to include empty spaces (for example, between the partitions of a double wall) shall be permitted. In order, that the said spaces cannot be used to conceal goods:
(i) where it covers the full from floor to roof, or, in other cases, where the space between it and the outer wall is completely enclosed, the lining inside the container shall be so fitted that it cannot be removed and replaced without leaving obvious traces, and
(ii) where a lining is of less than full height and the spaces between the lining and the outer wall are not completely enclosed, and in all other cases where spaces occur in the construction of a container, the -number of such spaces shall be kept to a minimum and these spaces shall be readily accessible for Customs inspection.

Containers capable of being folded or dismantled shall be subject to the provisions of articles 1 and 2 of these Regulations; in addition, they shall be fitted with a bolting system which locks the various parts together once the container has been erected. This bolting system must be capable of being sealed by the Customs if it is on the outside of the container when the latter has been erected.

1. Where applicable, the provisions of articles 1, 2 and 3 of these Regulations shall apply to sheeted containers. In addition, these containers shall conform to the provisions of this article.
2. The sheet shall be either of strong canvas or of plastic-covered or rubberized cloth, which shall be of sufficient strength and unstretchable. It shall be in good condition and made up in such a way that once the closing device has been secured, it is impossible to gain access to the load without leaving visible traces.
3. If the sheet is made up of several pieces, their edges shall be folded into one another and sewn together with two seams at least 15 mm apart. These seams shall be made as shown in sketch No. 1 appended to these Regulations; however, where in the case of certain parts of the sheet (such as flaps and reinforced corners) it is not possible to assemble the pieces in that way, it shall be sufficient to fold the edge of the top section and make the seams as shown in sketch No. 2 appended to these Regulations. One of the seams shall be visible only from the inside and the colour of the thread used for that, seam shall be clearly different from the colour of the sheet itself and from the colour of the thread used for the other seam. All seams shall be machine-sewn.
4. If the sheet is of plastic-covered cloth, and is made up of several pieces, the pieces may alternatively be welded together in the manner shown in sketch No 3 appended to these Regulations. The edges of the pieces shall overlap by at least 15 mm band of plastic material at least 7 mm wide, affixed by the same welding process. The plastic band and a width of at least 3 mm on each side shall have a well marked uniform relief stamped on it. The pieces shall be welded in such a way that they cannot be separated and rejoined without leaving visible traces.
5. Repairs shall be made in accordance with the method described in sketch No 4 appended to these Regulations; the edges shall be folded into one another and sewn together with two visible seams at least 15 mm apart; the colour of the thread visible from the inside shall be different from that of the thread visible from the outside and. from that of the sheet itself; all seams shall be machine-sewn. When a sheet which has been damaged near the edges is repaired by replacing the damaged part by a patch, the seam can also be made in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 3 of this article and sketch No. 1 appended to these Regulations. Sheets of plastic-covered cloth may alternatively be repaired in accordance with the method described in paragraph 4 of this article, but in that case the plastic band must be affixed to both sides of the sheet, the patch being fitted on the inside of the sheet.
6. The sheet shall be fixed to the container in strict comliance with the conditions set forth in article 1 (a) and (b) of these Regulations. The "following systems can be used:
a) The sheet can be secured by
i) metal rings fixed to the containers;
ii) eyelets in the edge of the sheet and
iii) a fastening passing through the rings above the sheet and visible from the outside for its entire length.
The sheet shall overlap solid parts of the container by at least 250 mm, measured from the centre of the securing rings, unless the system of construction of the container by itself prevents all access to the goods.
b) When any edge of a sheet is to be permanently secured to a container, the two surfaces shall be joined together without a break and shall be held in place by strong devices.
c) When a sheet locking system is used it shall in locked position join the sheet tightly to the outside of the container (as an example see sketch No. 6).
7. The sheet shall be supported by an adequate superstructure (uprights, sides, arches, slats, etc.).
8. The spaces between the rings and the spaces between the eyelets shall not exceed 300 mm between rings and eyelets on either side of the upright if the construction of the container and the sheet is such as to prevent all access to the interior of the container. The eyelets shall be reinforced.
9. The following fastenings shall be used:
(a) steel wire rope of at least 3 mm diameter; or
(b) a rope of hemp or sisal of at least 8 mm diameter encased in a transparent unstretchable plastic sheath.
Wire ropes may have a transparent unstretchable plastic sheath.
In cases where the sheet has to be fixed to the frame in a system of construction which otherwise complies with the provisions of paragraph 6 (a) of this article, a thong can be used as fastening (an example of such a system of construction is given in sketch No. 7 appended to this annex). The thong has to comply with the requirements stipulated in paragraph 11 (c) with regard to material, dimensions and shape.
10. Each rope shall be in one piece and have a hard metal end-piece at each end. The fastener of each metal end-piece shall include a hollow rivet passing through the rope so as to allow the introduction of the thread or the strap of the Customs seal. The rope shall remain visible on either side of the hollow rivet so that it is possible to ensure that the rope is in one piece (see sketch No. 5 appended to these Regulations).
11. At the openings in the sheet, used for loading and unloading, the two edges of the sheet shall have an adequate overlap. They shall also be fastened by:
(a) a flap sewn or welded in accordance with paragraphs 3 and 4 of this article;
(b) rings and eyelets meeting the conditions of paragraph 8 of this article, the rings shall be manufactured of metal; and
(c) a thong made of appropriate material, in one piece and unstretchable, at least 20 mm wide and 3 mm thick, passing through the rings and holding together the two edges of the sheet and the flap; the thong shall be secured inside the sheet and fitted with an eyelet to take the rope mentioned in paragraph 9 of this article. A flap shall not be required if a special device, such as a baffle plate, is fitted, which prevents access to the goods without leaving visible traces.
12. The identifications marks, which must appear on the container, and the approval plate provided for in Part II of this annex, shall in no circumstances be covered by the sheet.

Until 1 January 1977, end-pieces shall be allowed which conform to sketch No. 5 appended to these Regulations, even if they include hollow rivets of a type previously accepted with holes of dimensions less than those given in the sketch.

1. Containers may be approved for the transport of goods under Customs seal either:
a) at the manufacturing stage, by design type (procedure for approval at the manufacturing stage); or
b) at a stage subsequent to manufacture, either individually or in respect of a specified number of containers of the same type (procedure for approval at a stage subsequent to manufacture).

2. The competent authority responsible for granting approval shall issue to the applicant, after approval, a certificate of approval valid, as the case may be, either for an unlimited series of containers of the approved type or for a specified number of containers.
3. The beneficiary of approval shall affix an approval plate to the approved container or containers before their use for the transport of goods under Customs seal.
4. The approval plate shall be affixed permanently and in a clearly visible place adjacent to any other approval plate issued for official purposes.
5. The approval plate, conforming to model No 1 reproduced in appendix 1 to this Part, shall take the form of a metal plate measuring not less than 20cm by 10 cm. The following particulars shall be stamped into or embossed on the plate or indicated on its surface in any other permanent and legible way, in at least the English or the French language:
a) the words "Approved for transport under Customs seal";
b) an indication of the country in which approval was granted either by name or by means of the distinguishing sign used to indicate the country of registration of motor vehicles in international road traffic, and the number (figures, letters, etc.) of the certificate of approval and the year (e.g. "NL/26/73" means "Netherlands, certificate of approval No 26, issued in 1973");
c) the serial number assigned to the container by the manufacturer (manufacturer's number);
d) if the container has been approved by type, the identification numbers or letters of the type of container.
6. If a container no longer complies with the technical conditions prescribed for its approval, it shall, before it can be used for the transport of goods under Customs seal, be restored to the condition which had justified its approval, so as to comply again with the said technical conditions.
7. If the essential characteristics of a container are changed, the container shall cease to be" covered by the approval and shall be reapproved by the competent authority before it. can be used for the transport of goods under Customs seal.

8. Where the containers are manufactured by type series, the manufacturer may apply to the competent authority of the country of manufacture for approval by design type.
9. The manufacturer shall state in his application the identification numbers or letters which he assigns to the type of container to which his application for approval relates.
10. The application shall be accompanied by drawings and a detailed design specification of the container type to be approved.
11. The manufacturer shall give an undertaking in writing that he will:
(a) produce to the competent authority such containers of the type concerned as that authority may wish to examine;
(b) permit the competent authority to examine further units at any time during the production of the type series concerned;
(c) advise the competent authority of any change, of whatever magnitude, in the design or specification before proceeding with such change;

(e) keep a record of containers manufactured to the approved design type.
12. The competent authority shall state what changes, if any, must be made to the proposed design type so that approval may be granted.
13. No type-approval by design type shall be granted unless the competent authority has satisfied itself by examination of one or more containers manufactured to the design type concerned that containers of that type comply with the technical conditions prescribed in Part I.
14. When a container type is approved there shall be issued to the applicant a single certificate of approval conforming to model No II reproduced in appendix 2 to this Part and valid for all containers manufactured in conformity with the specifications of the type so approved. Such certificate shall entitle the manufacturer to affix to every container of the type series an approval plate in the form prescribed in paragraph 5 of this Part.

15. If approval has not been applied for at the manufacturing stage, the owner, the operator, or the representative or either, may apply for approval to the competent authority to which he is able to produce the container or containers and for which he seeks approval.
16. An application for approval submitted under paragraph 15 of this Part shall state the serial number (manufacturer's number) placed on each container by the manufacturer.
17. When the competent authority has ascertained that the container or containers comply with the technical conditions prescribed in Part I, by examination of as many containers as it considers necessary, it shall issue a certificate of approval conforming to model No. Ill reproduced in appendix 3 to this Part and valid solely for the number of containers approved.

Mednarodni prevoz blaga pod carinskim obeležjem se lahko opravlja le z vozili, katerih tovorišče je izdelano in opremljeno tako, da:
a) se blago ne more vzeti z obeleženega tovorišča in naložiti nanj brez vidnih sledov oziroma ne da bi se pri tem poškodovalo carinsko obeležje;
b) se carinsko obeležje lahko preprosto in učinkovito namesti;
c) nima kakšnega skrivališča, kjer se lahko skrije blago;
d) imajo cariniki ob pregledu lahek dostop do vseh prostorov, kjer je naloženo blago.

V skladu z določbami 1. člena tega pravilnika: a) morajo biti deli tovorišča (stranice, podi, vrata, streha, podboji, okvir, preklade itd.) sestavljeni tako, da jih ni mogoče, niti s pripravami niti s postopki od zunaj odstraniti in ponovno sestaviti brez vidnih sledov. Če so stranice, pod, vrata in streha sestavljeni iz raznih delov, se morajo ti skladati s predpisi in biti dovolj odporni;
b) morajo biti vrata in vsi drugi sestavi za zapiranje (vključno s pipami, pokrovi odprtin za napeljave, prirobnicami itd.) opremljeni z napravo za pritrditev carinskega obeležja. Ta naprava mora biti takšna, da se ne more z zunanje strani odstraniti in ponovno pritrditi brez vidnih sledov ter da se vrata ali druga zapirala ne morejo odpreti, ne da bi se poškodovalo carinsko obeležje. Carinsko obeležje je treba primerno zavarovati, Dovoljena je uporaba pomične strehe;
c) morajo biti prezračevalne in odtočne odprtine opremljene z napravo, ki preprečuje dostop v notranjost tovorišča. Ta naprava mora biti takšna, da se ne more z zunanje strani odstraniti in ponovno pritrditi brez vidnih sledov.
2. Ne glede na točko c) 1. člena tega pravilnika so dovoljeni sestavni del tovorišča, ki imajo iz praktičnih razlogov prazne prostore (na primer dvojne stene med stranicami). Da pa se ti prostori ne bi mogli uporabiti za tihotapljenje, je treba upoštevati naslednje:
i) če notranja obloga prekriva tovorišče od poda do strehe oziroma če je prostor med to oblogo in zunanjo steno popolnoma zaprt, mora biti pritrjena tako, da se ne more odstraniti in ponovno pritrditi brez vidnih sledov; in
ii) če obloga ne sega do strehe in če prostor med njo in zunanjo steno ni popolnoma zaprt ter v vseh drugih primerih, kjer izdelava tovorišča zahteva prazne prostore, naj bo teh čim manj in naj bodo zlahka dostopni za carinske preglede.
3. Okna so dovoljena, če so iz dovolj trpežnega materiala in se ne dajo odstraniti ter ponovno namestiti brez vidnih sledov. Steklo je sicer dovoljeno, vendar mora biti na oknu v tem primeru nepremična kovinska mreža, ki se z zunanje strani ne da odstraniti; velikost okenc v mreži ne sme biti večja od 10 mm.
4. Odprtine v podu, ki se uporabljajo za tehnične namene, npr. mazanje, vzdrževanje, polnjenje posode za pesek, so dovoljene le, če imajo pokrov, ki je tako pritrjen, da dostop do tovorišča od zunaj ni možen.

1. Določbe 1. in 2. člena tega pravilnika se uporabljajo, kjer je mogoče, tudi za vozila s ponjavo, ki morajo poleg tega izpolnjevati tudi zahteve iz tega člena..
2. Ponjava mora biti iz močnega platna, plastificirane ali gumirane tkanine, ki se ne razteguje in je dovolj čvrsta. Ponjava mora biti kakovostna in tako izdelana, da po namestitvi zapirala dostop na tovorišče ni več mogoč brez vidnih sledov.
3. Če je ponjava sešita iz več delov, morajo biti njihovi robovi preganjeni drug v drugega in sešiti z dvema šivoma v razmiku vsaj 15 mm. Izdelana morata biti v skladu z risbo št. 1, ki je v prilogi tega pravilnika. Kadar pa določenih delov ponjave, kot so zavihki in ojačeni vogali, ni mogoče sešiti na ta način, zadostuje, če se zaviha rob zgornjega dela in se naredijo šivi, kakor kažeta risbi št. 2 oziroma 2a), ki sta v prilogi tega pravilnika. Siv sme biti viden le z notranje strani in izdelan s sukancem, ki se po barvi razlikuje od barve ponjave in sukanca drugega šiva. Šivanje mora biti strojno.
4. Če je ponjava iz plastificirane tkanine in izdelana iz več delov, se ti deli lahko tudi zvarijo v skladu z risbo št. 3, ki je v prilogi tega pravilnika. Robova enega in drugega dela se morata prekrivati vsaj za 15 mm in prilegati po vsej širini prekritja. Zunanji rob spoja se mora prekriti s plastičnim trakom, širokim vsaj 7 mm. Ta se pritrdi po enakem varilnem postopku. Po tem traku in še po širini vsaj 3mm na vsako stran traku se vtisne zelo razločen reliefni vzorec. Deli morajo biti zvarjeni tako, da jih ni mogoče ločiti in ponovno sestaviti brez vidnih sledov.
5. Ponjava se krpa tako, kot je prikazano na risbi št. 4, ki je priložena temu pravilniku. Robova se zapogneta eden v drugega in sešijeta z dvema vidnima šivoma, ki sta vsaj 15 mm narazen. Barva sukanca, ki je viden z notranje strani, se mora razlikovati od barve sukanca, ki je viden z zunanje strani, in od barve ponjave. Šivanje mora biti strojno. Pri krpanju ponjave, ki je poškodovana na robovih, in je pri tem treba vstaviti nov kos tkanine, se šiv lahko naredi v skladu z navodili 3. odstavka tega člena in po risbi št. 1, ki je priložena temu pravilniku. Tudi ponjave iz plastificirane tkanine se lahko krpajo tako, kot je opisano v 4. odstavku tega člena, vendar je v tem primeru treba trak pritrditi na obeh straneh ponjave, krpa pa se namesti z notranje strani.
6. a) Ponjava se pritrdi na vozilo tako, da je strogo v skladu z zahtevama točk a) in b) 1. člena tega pravilnika. Načini pritrditve so naslednji:
i) s kovinskimi obročki, pritrjenimi na vozilo;
ii) z očesci, vdelanimi v rob ponjave;
iii) s pritrdilnim kablom, ki teče skozi obročke nad ponjavo in je po vsej svoji dolžini viden z zunanje strani.
Ponjava mora prekrivati trde dele vozila za vsaj 250 mm, merjeno od središča pritrdilnih obročkov, razen če izdelava vozila sama po sebi ne dopušča dostopa do notranjosti tovorišča.
b) Kadar mora biti rob ponjave stalno pritrjen na vozilo, je stik neprekinjen in izveden s trajnimi pritrdili.
7. Ponjava je podprta z ustreznim ogrodjem (podporniki, stranice, loki, letve itd.).
8. Razmik med obročki in očesci ne sme biti večji od 200mm. Lahko pa je večji, vendar največ 300mm med obročki in med očesci, ki so na eni in drugi strani podpornika, če izdelava tovorišča in ponjave onemogoča dostop do notranjosti. Očesca morajo biti ojačena.
9. Uporabljajo se naslednja pritrdila:
a) jekleni kabli premera vsaj 3mm; ali
b) vrvi iz konoplje ali sisala premera vsaj 8 mm v ovoju iz prozorne neraztegljive plastike.
Če je treba ponjavo pritrditi na okvir tovorišča, ki je sicer v skladu s točko a) 6. odstavka tega člena, se kot pritrdilo, lahko uporabi jermen (primer takšnega tovorišča je prikazan na risbi št. 7, ki je priloga tega dodatka). Jermen mora biti v skladu z zahtevami, določenimi v točki c) 11. odstavka, ki se nanašajo na snov, velikost in obliko jermena.
10. Kabel ali vrv morata biti v enem kosu, njuna konca pa morata imeti kovinski zaključek. Sponka vsakega kovinskega zaključka mora imeti votlo kovico, ki gre skozi kabel oziroma vrv in omogoča, da se skoznjo lahko vdene vrvica carinskega obeležja. Kabel ali vrv morata biti vidna z ene in druge strani votle kovice, tako da se je možno prepričati, ali sta kabel ali vrv res v enem kosu (glej risbo št. 5, ki je priložena temu pravilniku).
11. Pri odprtinah v ponjavi, ki so namenjene za nakladanje in razkladanje tovora, se morata oba robova ponjave zadovoljivo prekrivati. Pritrjena sta:
a) s prišitim ali privarjenim zavihkom v skladu s 3. in 4. odstavkom tega člena;
b) s kovinskimi obroči in očesci, ki so v skladu z zahtevami 8. odstavka tega člena; ter
c) z neraztegljivim, vsaj 20 mm širokim in 3 mm debelim jermenom iz ustrezne snovi v enem kosu, ki gre skozi obroče in drži robova ponjave in zavihek; jermen je pritrjen znotraj ponjave in ima bodisi
(i) očesce za kabel ali vrv, omenjena v 9. odstavku tega člena, bodisi
(ii) očesce, ki se lahko pritrdi na kovinski obroč, omenjen v 8. odstavku tega člena, in zavaruje s kablom ali vrvjo, omenjenima v 9. odstavku tega člena.
Zavihek ni potreben, če posebna priprava (pokrivalna ploščica itd.) preprečuje dostop do tovorišča brez vidnih sledov.

1. Za cestna vozila se lahko izdajajo potrdila po enem od naslednjih postopkov:
a) posamezno
b) skupinsko (po vrsti izdelave).
2. Za vozila, ki izpolnjujejo tehnične pogoje, se izda potrdilo, ki je v skladu z vzorcem v dodatku 4. Potrdilo se izda v jeziku države, v kateri je izdano, ter v francoščini ali angleščini. Če organ, ki je dal soglasje k vozilu, meni, da je to potrebno, se potrdilu priložijo fotografije ali risbe, ki jih je ta organ overil. Če se to zgodi, mora organ pod št. 6 potrdila vpisati število listin.
3. Potrdilo mora biti v vozilu.
4. Cestna vozila je treba vsaki dve leti dati pregledati pristojnim organom države, v kateri je registrirano vozilo, ali, če vozilo ni registrirano, države, v kateri ima lastnik ali uporabnik vozila stalno bivališče, zaradi morebitnega podaljšanja veljavnosti soglasja.
5. Če cestno vozilo ne izpolnjuje več tehničnih pogojev, predpisanih za njegovo odobritev, mora biti pred ponovno uporabo za prevoz blaga z jamstvom zvezka TIR v stanju, ki je opravičevalo njegovo odobritev, tako da bo zopet izpolnjevalo omenjene tehnične pogoje.
6. Če se spremenijo bistvene značilnosti cestnega vozila, soglasje zanj ne velja več in je pred ponovno uporabo vozila za opravljanje prevozov blaga z jamstvom zvezka TIR treba pri pristojnih organih pridobiti novo soglasje.
7. Pristojni organi države, y kateri je vozilo registrirano, ali če za vozilo ni potrebna registracija, pristojni organi države, v kateri živi lastnik ali uporabnik vozila, lahko v danem primeru odvzamejo ali obnovijo potrdilo o soglasju ali izdajo novo potrdilo o soglasju v okoliščinah, navedenih v 14. členu te konvencije in v 4., 5. in 6. točki dodatka.

8. Za posamezno soglasje pristojnega organa zaprosi lastnik, uporabnik ali njun zastopnik. Pristojni organ pregleda cestno vozilo, v skladu s splošnimi predpisi, navedenimi v 1. do 7. točki, in se prepriča o tem, ali vozilo izpolnjuje tehnične pogoje, predpisane v dodatku 2, in po odobritvi izda potrdilo, ki mora ustrezati obrazcu iz dodatka 4.

9. Kadar so cestna vozila skupinske izdelave oziroma iste vrste, lahko proizvajalec zaprosi pristojni organ države, kjer je bilo vozilo izdelano, za soglasje k vrsti.
10. Proizvajalec mora v svoji vlogi navesti številke ali črke istovetnosti vozila, ki jih je določil za to vrsto cestnega vozila, za katero prosi za soglasje.
11. Vlogi je treba priložiti načrte in podroben opis izdelave cestnega vozila, za katero se prosi za soglasje.
12. Proizvajalec se mora pisno zavezati, da bo:
a) pristojnemu organu predstavil tista vozila določene vrste, ki jih ta želi pregledati;
b) pristojnemu organu omogočil pregled tudi drugih vozil te vrste v kateri koli fazi izdelave;
c) pristojni organ obvestil o vseh še tako nepomembnih spremembah načrtov ali opreme, še preden jih bo upošteval;
d) na vidnem mestu označil cestna vozila s številkami ali črkami istovetnosti za določeno vrsto izdelave kot tudi zaporedno številko pri skupinski izdelavi vsakega vozila (številko izdelave);
e) vodil razvid izdelanih vozil po odobreni vrsti izdelave.
13. Pristojni organ je v danem primeru dolžan navesti spremembe, ki jih je treba vnesti v določeno vrsto izdelave, da bi lahko izdal soglasje.
14. Dokler se pristojni organ ne bo s pregledom enega ali več vozil skupinske izdelave prepričal, da vozila te vrste izpolnjujejo tehnične pogoje, predpisane v dodatku 2, ne bo izdano soglasje k skupinski izdelavi te vrste vozil.
15. Pristojni organ mora proizvajalcu pisno sporočiti svoj sklep o izdaji soglasja k skupinski izdelavi. Sklep mora biti datiran in oštevilčen. Organ, ki je sprejel sklep, mora biti jasno imenovan.
16. Pristojni organ mora ukreniti vse potrebno za izdajo potrdila o soglasju, ki ga podpišejo njegovi pooblaščeni predstavniki, za vsako vozilo, ki je po izdelavi v skladu z odobreno vrsto.
17. Imetnik potrdila o soglasju mora pred uporabo vozila za prevoz blaga z jamstvom zvezka TIR v potrdilu o soglasju navesti vse podatke, ki se zahtevajo:
– registrsko številko vozila (rubrika št. 1) ali
– kadar vozila ni treba registrirati, ime in sedež podjetja (rubrika št. 8).
18. Kadar se vozilo, za katero je izdano soglasje k skupinski vrsti izdelave, izvozi v drugo državo, ki je podpisnica te konvencije, se zanjo ne zahteva nikakršen nov postopek za pridobitev soglasja v tej državi.

19. Kadar se ugotovi, da ima odobreno vozilo, ki prevaža blago z jamstvom zvezka TIR, večje pomanjkljivosti, pristojni organi vozilu bodisi prepovedo nadaljnjo vožnjo z jamstvom zvezka TIR bodisi mu dovolijo, da nadaljuje vožnjo na njihovem ozemlju, medtem ko sami sprejmejo ustrezne varnostne ukrepe. Odobreno vozilo mora biti v najkrajšem možnem času v zadovoljivem stanju, vsekakor pa še pred ponovno uporabo za prevoz blaga z jamstvom zvezka TIR.
20. V obeh primerih morajo carinski organi v rubriki 10 potrdila o soglasju k vozilu pripisati ustrezne pripombe. Ko je vozilo zopet v stanju, ki opravičuje odobritev, se predstavi pristojnim organom države podpisnice, ki obnovijo veljavnost potrdila s pripisom pripombe v rubriki 11, s katerim se razveljavijo prejšnje pripombe. Vozilo, v potrdilu katerega je opomba v rubriki 10 v skladu z omenjenimi določili, se ne more ponovno uporabiti za prevoz blaga z jamstvom zvezka TIR, dokler ni zopet v ustreznem stanju, opomba v rubriki 10 pa razveljavljena, kot je navedeno zgoraj.
21. Vse opombe na potrdilu morajo biti datirane in jih morajo carinski organi overiti.
22. Če carinski organi ugotovijo, da ima vozilo manjše pomanjkljivosti, ki ne pomenijo tveganja tihotapljenja, lahko dovolijo nadaljnjo uporabo vozila za prevoz blaga z jamstvom zvezka TIR, imetnika potrdila, o soglasju pa uradno obvestijo o pomanjkljivosti. Ta mora poskrbeti, da je vozilo čim prej spet v zadovoljivem stanju.

1. Tablice merijo 250 mm krat 400 mm.
2. Črke TIR, napisane z latinskimi velikimi črkami, merijo 200 mm in so debele najmanj 20 mm. Črke so bele na modri podlagi.

(i) V skladu z določili 43. člena, te Konvencije navodila za uporabo pojasnjujejo nekatera določila Konvencije in njenih dodatkov. Obenem pa povzemajo tudi nekatera priporočila za izvajanje.
(ii) Navodila za uporabo ne spreminjajo določil te Konvencije ali njenih dodatkov, ampak le natančneje opredeljujejo vsebino, pomen in uporabo.
(iii) Predvsem glede določil 12. člena in dodatka 2 te Konvencije, ki govorijo o tehničnih pogojih za odobritev cestnih vozil za prevoz pod carinskim obeležjem, navodila natančneje določajo, če je to potrebno, načine izdelave, ki jih morajo upoštevati podpisnice. Navodila opredeljujejo tudi, kdaj način izdelave ne ustreza tem določilom.
(iv) Navodila omogočajo izvajanje določil te Konvencije in njenih dodatkov, tako da upoštevajo tehnični razvoj in gospodarske potrebe.

0.1 1. člen
b) Izjeme (dajatve in davki), navedene v odstavku b) prvega člena, zajemajo vsa plačila, razen pristojbin ali taks, ki bi jih podpisnice dobile z uvozom ali izvozom ali v povezavi z njim. Zneski so okvirno omejeni na stroške opravljenih storitev in ne bodo posredno sredstvo za zaščito domačih izdelkov ali davčne takse za uvoz ali izvoz. Te dajatve in davki med drugim zajemajo plačila, ki se nanašajo na:
– potrdila o izvoru, če so za tranzit potrebna,
– analize, opravljene v carinskih laboratorijih zaradi nadzora,
– carinske preglede in druge dejavnosti pri carinjenju, opravljene zunaj običajnega delovnega časa in zunaj uradnih prostorov carinarnice,
– preglede, opravljene iz zdravstvenih, veterinarskih ali fitopatoloških razlogov.
e) Izraz »zamenljivo tovorišče« pomeni tovorišče, ki nima lastnih, sredstev za premikanje in je zasnovano za prevažanje na cestnem vozilu, pri čemer sta okvir tega vozila in spodnji del tovorišča posebej prilagojena v ta namen.
e) i) Izraz »delno zaprt« pomeni opremo, omenjeno v odstavku e) i) prvega člena, v glavnem sestavljeno iz poda in vrhnjega dela, ki omejuje prostor za tovor, ki je enak prostoru zabojnika. Vrhnji del, ki sestavlja ogrodje, je v glavnem kovinski. Ta vrsta tovorišča ima lahko tudi eno ali več vzdolžnih ali prečnih sten. Nekatera od teh tovorišč imajo pod in streho preprosto povezano z navpičnimi nosilci. Uporabljajo se predvsem za prevoz blaga z veliko prostornino (na primer avtomobilov).
0.2 2. člen
0.2-1 Po 2. členu se lahko prevoz z jamstvom TIR začne in konča v isti državi, če del poti poteka tudi čez tuje ozemlje. V takem primeru lahko carinske oblasti odhodne države brez zadržkov zahtevajo poleg karneta TIR domačo listino kot zagotovilo za ponovni prosti uvoz blaga. Vendar pa je priporočljivo, da carinske oblasti take listine ne zahtevajo in da namesto tega priznajo posebno navedbo v karnetu TIR.
0.2-2 Določila tega člena omogočajo prevoz blaga z jamstvom TIR, kadar le del poti poteka po cesti. Ta določila ne opredeljujejo, kateri del poti mora biti opravljen po cesti, zato zadostuje, da je ta del poti med začetkom prevoza TIR in njegovim koncem. Vendar pa se lahko zgodi, da iz nepredvidenih trgovskih ali drugih vzrokov kljub začetnim nameram pošiljatelja noben del poti ne more potekati po cesti. V teh izrednih primerih podpisnici sprejmeta karnet TIR in tako odgovornost družb, ki dajejo jamstvo, ostane v veljavi.
0.5 5. člen
Ta člen ne izključuje pravice do nadzora nad blagom z naključnimi pregledi, vendar pa mora biti število takih pregledov zelo omejeno. Mednarodni postopek TIR daje dodatna zagotovila k jamstvom, zagotovljenim po domačih predpisih; po eni strani morajo navedbe v karnetu TIR glede blaga ustrezati navedbam v carinskih listinah, ki bi jih morebitno izdala odhodna država; po drugi strani pa medpotne in namembne države že imajo jamstvo v pregledih, ki so jih opravile in potrdile odhodne carinarnice. (Glej tudi v nadaljevanju 19. člen).
0.6.2 6. člen, 2. odstavek
Po določilih tega odstavka lahko carinske oblasti neke države določijo več združenj, od katerih vsako prevzame odgovornost, ki izhaja iz razbremenitve karnetov, ki jih je izdalo samo ali druga ustrezna združenja.
0.8.2 8. člen, 2. odstavek
Določila tega odstavka se uporabijo, če tako kot pri nepravilnostih, kot jih predvideva 1. odstavek 8. člena, zakoni in predpisi ene od podpisnic predvidevajo poleg uvoznih ali izvoznih dajatev in taks plačila, kot so upravne globe in druge denarne kazni. Predvidena vsota pa ne sme presegati vsote uvoznih ali izvoznih dajatev in taks, ki bi jih bilo treba plačati, če bi blago uvozili ali izvozili v skladu z veljavnimi carinskimi predpisi, pri čemer bi vsota vključevala morebitne zamudne obresti.
0.8.3 8. člen, 3. odstavek
Priporočljivo je, da carinske oblasti omejijo najvišjo vsoto, ki bi jo morebiti zahtevale od združenja, ki daje jamstvo, na 50.000 ameriških dolarjev za vsak karnet TIR.
0.8.5 8. člen, 5. odstavek
Če je jamstvo sporno zaradi blaga, ki ni navedeno v karnetu TIR, bi morala uprava, ki jo to zadeva, navesti, na podlagi katerih dejstev je ugotovila, da je tako blago v zapečatenih prostorih cestnega vozila ali v zapečatenem zabojniku.
0.8.6 8. člen, 6. odstavek
1. Če v karnetu TIR ni dovolj natančnih navedb, na podlagi katerih bi bilo mogoče določiti takse, lahko prizadeta stran dokazuje točnost vsebine.
2. Če dokazi niso predloženi, se dajatve in takse ne določijo poprečno, ampak po najvišji stopnji, predvideni za vrsto blaga, ki je navedena v karnetu TIR.
0.10 10. člen
Smatra se, da je potrdilo o razbremenitvi karneta TIR pridobljeno z zlorabo ali goljufijo, če je bil prevoz TIR opravljen s pomočjo goljufivo predelanega tovorišča ali zabojnika ali ob razkritju zlorab, kot so uporaba nepravih ali nepravilnih listin, zamenjava blaga, predelava carinskih obeležij, ali če je bilo potrdilo pridobljeno na drugačen nezakonit način.
0.11 11. člen
0.11.1 Ko carinske oblasti odločajo o sprostitvi blaga ali vozil, nanje ne bi smelo vplivati dejstvo, da je združenje, ki daje jamstvo, odgovorno za plačilo dajatev, taks in zamudnih obresti za imetnika karneta, če jim njihova zakonodaja daje druga sredstva za zaščito koristi, ki so jih dolžne varovati.
0.11.2 Če se od združenja, ki daje jamstvo, v skladu s postopkom, predvidenim v 11. členu, zahteva, naj izplača vsote, navedene v 1. in 2. odstavku 8. člena, vendar združenje tega ne stori v treh mesecih, kot določa Konvencija, lahko pristojne oblasti zahtevajo plačilo na podlagi domače zakonodaje, saj gre za nespoštovanje pogodbe o jamstvu, ki jo je združenje sklenilo v skladu z domačimi predpisi.
0.15 15. člen
Do določenih težav lahko pride tedaj, kadar, se za vozila, ki niso zavezana registraciji (npr. v nekaterih državah za prikolice ali polprikolice ne zahtevajo carinske listine za začasen uvoz). V tem primeru je mogoče upoštevati določila 15. člena, vendar pa morajo imeti carinske oblasti zadostno jamstvo, in to s tem da se jim v odrezkih št. l in št. 2 karneta TIR, ki se v teh državah uporablja, ter v ustreznih odrezkih zainteresirane države navedejo značilnosti (oznake in številke) teh vozil.
0.17 17. člen
0.17-1 Določilo, ki predvideva, da se mora v manifestu jamstvenega zvezka TIR ločeno navesti vsebina vsakega vozila v sklopu več vozil, ima edino ta namen, da olajša carinski pregled enega samega vozila ali enega samega zabojnika. To določilo ne sme biti tako dosledno spoštovano, da bi vsaka razlika med dejansko vsebino nekega vozila ali zabojnika ter vsebino tega vozila ali zabojnika, kot je navedena v manifestu, pomenila kršenje določil Konvencije. Če lahko prevoznik zadovoljivo dokaže pristojnim oblastem, da kljub tej razliki vse blago, navedeno v manifestu, ustreza celoti blaga, naloženega.
Na vsej skupini vozil ali zabojnikov v okviru skupnega karneta TIR, načelno tega ne bi smeli šteti za kršitev carinskih predpisov.
0.17-2 Ob selitvah se je mogoče sklicevati na določila odstavka 10 c) o uporabi karneta TIR in tako smiselno poenostaviti navajanje predmetov, ki se prevažajo.
0.18 18. člen
0.18-1 Uspešen potek prevoza TIR predpostavlja, da carinske oblasti neke države ne dopuste, da bi bila odhodna carinarnica te države navedena kot namembna pri prevozu, namenjenem proti sosednji državi, prav tako podpisnici te Konvencije, razen če posebni pogoji ne opravičujejo take zahteve.
0.18-2/1. Blago mora biti natovorjeno tako, da je mogoče tisti del blaga, ki je prvi predviden za razkladanje, raztovoriti z vozila ali zabojnika, ne da bi bilo pri tem treba razložiti drug del ali druge dele blaga, ki so namenjeni za raztovarjanje na drugih razkladalnih mestih.
2. Pri prevozih z raztovarjanjem na več mestih je treba pri vsakem delnem raztovorjenju to navesti v vseh preostalih listih manifesta karneta TIR v polju 12 in obenem navesti na vseh preostalih pobotnicah in ustreznih odrezkih, da so bila dana nova carinska obeležja.
0.19 19. člen Zahteva, po kateri naj odhodna carinarnica preveri pravilnost navedb v spisku blaga, vključuje vsaj ugotavljanje, ali navedbe iz manifesta glede blaga ustrezajo navedbam v listinah o izvoru in prevozu ali v drugih trgovskih listinah, ki se nanašajo na to blago; tudi odhodna carinarnica lahko po potrebi pregleda blago. Odhodna carinarnica mora pred pritrditvijo carinskega obeležja tudi pregledati stanje cestnega vozila ali zabojnika, pri vozilih ali zabojnikih, pokritih s ponjavo, pa stanje ponjave in šivov, ki pritrjujejo ponjavo, ker ti pripomočki niso navedeni v. potrdilu o odobritvi.
0.20 20. člen
Ko carinske oblasti določajo roke za prevoz blaga po svojem ozemlju, morajo med drugim upoštevati tudi posebne predpise, ki zavezujejo prevoznike, predvsem pa predpise o delovnem času in obveznem počitku voznikov cestnih vozil. Priporočljivo je, da carinske oblasti izkoristijo svojo pravico do določanja poteka poti le v primeru, če je nujno potrebno.
0.21 -21. člen
0.21-1 Določila tega, člena v ničemer ne omejujejo pravice carinskih oblasti, da poleg tovorišča, označenega s carinskim obeležjem, pregledajo vse dele vozila.
0.21-2 Vstopna carinarnica lahko pošlje prevoznika nazaj na izstopno carinarnico sosednje države, če ugotovi, da ta ni potrdila carinskega nadzora v svoji državi ali ga ni potrdila na ustrezen način. V takem primeru vstopna carinarnica v karnet TIR napiše opombo v vednost izstopne carinarnice.
0.21-3 Če pri pregledu carinske oblasti vzamejo vzorce blaga, morajo v manifest karneta TIR vpisati vse potrebne podatke o blagu, katerega vzorci so bili odvzeti.
0.28 28. člen
1. 28. člen predvideva, da mora biti jamstveni zvezek TIR razbremenjen v namembni carinarnici brez zadrževanja, razen če za blago ne velja kakšen drug carinski postopek ali je dokončno ocarinjeno.
2. Uporaba karneta TIR mora biti omejena za namen, za katerega je predvidena, torej za prevoz. Ne bi ga bilo, na primer, treba uporabljati za skladiščenja blaga na namembni carinarnici. Če ni bilo nobenih nepravilnosti, mora namembna carinarnica razbremeniti karnet TIR takoj, ko blago, zajeto v njem, preide pod drug carinski postopek ali je bilo ocarinjeno. V praksi mora biti ta razbremenitev opravljena takoj po ponovnem izvozu blaga (na primer ob vkrcanju na ladjo v pomorskem pristanišču) ali pa čim je za blago izstavljena carinska deklaracija ali pa čim preide pod drug carinski nadzor (na primer skladiščenje na odobrenem mestu), po veljavnih zakonih namembne države.
0.29 29. člen
Potrdilo o odobritvi ni zahtevano za cestna vozila ali zabojnike, v. katerih se prevažajo težki ali zajetni tovori. Kljub temu pa mora odhodna carinarnica preveriti, ali so izpolnjeni drugi pogoji, določeni za to vrsto prevozov. Carinarnice drugih podpisnic bodo sprejele odločitev odhodne carinarnice, razen če bi se jim zdela v očitnem nasprotju s tem 29. členom.
0.38.1 38. člen, 1. odstavek
Za neko podjetje ne bi smele prenehati veljati ugodnosti sestava TIR zaradi kršitev, ki jih je brez vednosti uprave podjetja storil kateri od voznikov.
0.38.2 38. člen, 2. odstavek
Če je katera od podpisnic obveščena, da je oseba, ki je nastanjena ali prebiva na njenem ozemlju, odgovorna za kršitev, na ozemlju tuje države, ni dolžna prenehati izročati zvezka TIR tej osebi.
0.39 39. člen
Izraz »napaka zaradi malomarnosti« pomeni dejanja, ki niso storjena namerno in s polno zavestjo o posledicah, ampak izhajajo iz dejstva, da so bili opuščeni smiselni in potrebni ukrepi za zagotovitev točnih podatkov v vsakem posameznem primeru.
0.45 45. člen
Priporočljivo je, da podpisnice odprejo kar največ carinarnic za prevoze TIR tako v notranjosti kot na državni meji.
I. DODATEK-k
1.10, c) Določila o uporabi karneta TIR »- Seznami, priloženi manifestu (spisku blaga) za carinjenje blaga
Določila člena 10 c) navodil o uporabi karneta TIR dovoljujejo uporabo seznamov pošiljk kot prilog h karnetu, tudi če je v manifestu dovolj prostora za vpis vsega prevažanega blaga. Vendar pa so ti seznami dovoljeni le, če čitljivo in pregledno navajajo vse podatke, zahtevane v manifestu za carinjenje blaga, in če so upoštevana vsa druga določila člena 10 c).
2 DODATEK 2 2.2 2. člen
2.2.1 a) Pododstavek 1 a) – Spajanje sestavnih delov
a) Če se uporabijo sredstva za spajanje (kovice, vijaki, matice), mora biti zadostno število teh spajalnih delov nameščenih tako, da od zunanje strani potekajo preko sestavnih delov v notranjost, kjer so pritrjeni na zanesljiv način (zakovani, zvijačeni, zavarjeni). Vendar pa so klasična kovice (pri katerih namestitev zahteva poseben postopek z ene in druge strani pritrjenih delov) lahko nameščene tudi z notranje strani. Ne glede na zgornja določila so podi oddelkov, namenjenih za tovor, lahko pritrjeni z vijaki, s samovrtalnimi kovicami, kovicami, vstavljenimi s pomočjo eksplozivne sile ali s pnevmatsko vstavljenimi žeblji, nameščenimi z notranje strani pod pravim kotom skozi pod in kovinske nosilce, pod pogojem da, razen pri samoreznih vijakih, nekateri njihovi skrajni konci segajo v zunanji del nosilca ali so nanj zavarjeni.
b) Pristojne oblasti določijo število in vrsto sredstev za spajanje, ki morajo izpolnjevati zahteve iz odstavka a), pri tem pa se morajo prepričati, ali jih ni mogoče odstraniti ali dodati brez vidnih sledi. Pri izbiri in razporeditvi drugih pripomočkov za pričvrstitev ni nobenih omejitev.
c) Sredstva za spajanje, ki jih je mogoče odstraniti ali zamenjati brez vidnih sledi z ene same strani, torej ne da bi bil potreben poseg z obeh strani veznega dela, niso dovoljena v skladu z odstavkom a) tega člena. Gre predvsem za kovice brez zaključka, slepe kovice in podobno.
d) Opisani načini pritrditve se nanašajo na posebna vozila, na primer na izotermna vozila, hladilnike in cisterne, če odstopajo od tehničnih predpisov, ki določajo njihovo uporabo. Če iz tehničnih razlogov sestavnih delov ni mogoče pritrditi na način, opisan v odstavku a), jih je mogoče pritrditi s pomočjo spajalnih sredstev, navedenih v odstavku c), če sredstva, uporabljena na notranji strani, niso dosegljiva z zunanje strani.
2.2.1 b) Pododstavek 1 b) – Vrata in drugi sestavi za zapiranje
a) Naprava, ki omogoča pritrditev carinskega obeležja, mora:
i) biti privarjena ali pritrjena s pomočjo vsaj dveh delov za pritrditev, ki sta v skladu s pododstavkom a) odstavka 2.2.1. a);
ii) biti zasnovana tako, da jo potem, ko je poseben oddelek za tovor zaprt in označen z obeležjem, ni mogoče odstraniti brez vidnih sledi.
Prav tako mora:
iii) imeti odprtine z vsaj 11 mm premera ali špranje, dolge vsaj 11 mm in široke 3 mm, in
iv) zagotavljati enako varnost ne glede na vrsto uporabljenega carinskega obeležja.
b) Členki, nasadila, tečaji in druge naprave za namestitev vrat morajo biti pritrjeni v skladu z določili pododstavkov a) i) in ii) tega navodila. Poleg tega so razni sestavni členi teh delov za namestitev (na primer osi ali vzvodi pri členkih ali tečajih), če so nujno potrebni za carinsko zavarovanje posebnih oddelkov za tovor (glej risbo št. l a, ki je priložena temu dodatku), narejeni tako, da jih ni mogoče odstraniti ali razstaviti brez vidnih sledi, potem ko je poseben oddelek zaprt in obeležen. Če pa del za pritrditev ni dosegljiv z zunanje strani, zadostuje, da zadevnih delov ni mogoče ločiti od tečaja vrat, ko so enkrat zaprta in obeležena, brez vidnih sledi. Če imajo vrata ali zapiralni sestav več kot dva tečaja, morata biti le oba tečaja na skrajnih koncih pritrjena v skladu s predpisi iz zgornjih pododstavkov a) i) in ii).
c) Izjemoma so lahko pri vozilih – hladilnikih deli za carinsko obeležje, členki in drugi deli, katerih odstranitev bi omogočila dostop v notranjost oddelka za tovor ali do prostorov, kjer bi bilo lahko skrito blago, pritrjeni na vrata oddelka za tovor z vijaki z zunanje strani, kljub temu, da zahtevam iz pododstavka a) odstavka 2.2.1. a) ne ustrezajo:
i) če je vrh vijaka ali zakovice vsidran v ploščico z navojem ali s podobno napravo pritrjen na zunanji strani vrat, in
ii) če je določeno število teh vijakov ali zakovic privarjenih na napravo za carinsko obeležje, členek itd na tak način, da so povsem razobličeni in jih ni mogoče odstraniti brez vidnih sledi (glej risbo št. 1, ki je priložena temu dodatku).
Izraz »toplotno osamljen oddelek za tovor« ima enak pomen kot pri hladilnih in izotermnih oddelkih za tovor.
d) Pri vozilih, ki imajo več zapiralnih naprav, kot so zaklopke, pipe, pokrovi itd, mora biti njihovo število za namestitev carinskih obeležij čim bolj omejeno. Zato morajo biti sosednje zapiralne naprave med seboj povezane s skupno napravo, na katero bo mogoče dati eno samo obeležje ali ki ima ustrezen pokrov za enak namen.
e) Vozila s streho, ki se da odpirati, morajo biti izdelana tako, da je število carinskih obeležij čim bolj omejeno.
1) Glej risbo št. 1, ki je priložena temu dodatku.
2.2.1 c)-l Pododstavek 1 c) – Prezračevalne odprtine
a) Velikost odprtine načelno ne sme presegati 400 mm.
b) Odprtine, skozi katere je mogoč neposreden dostop v oddelek za tovor, so zaprte:
i) s kovinsko mrežico ali z naluknjano kovinsko ploščico (največja velikost lukenj 3 mm v obeh primerih) in zaščitene s privarjeno kovinsko rešetko (največja velikost odprtin 10 mm); ali
ii) z eno samo dovolj debelo naluknjano kovinsko ploščico (največja velikost lukenj 3 mm; debelina ploščice vsaj 1 mm).
c) Odprtine, ki ne omogočajo neposrednega dostopa v oddelek za tovor (na primer pri kolenastih ali zavitih dostopih), morajo biti zaprte tako, kot je opisano v zgornjem odstavku b), vendar lahko, velikost lukenj in odprtin doseže 10 mm (pri kovinski mrežici ali kovinski ploščici)in 20 mm (pri kovinski rešetki).
d) Odprtine v ponjavi morajo biti načelno prav tako zaščitene, kot je opisano v zgornjem odstavku b). Vendar pa so odprtine lahko zaprte v naluknjano kovinsko ploščico, nameščeno na zunanji strani, ter mrežico iz kovine ali druge snovi, pritrjeno na notranji strani.
e) Podobna nekovinska zapirala so dovoljena, če je upoštevana velikost lukenj in odprtin in če je uporabljena snov dovolj vzdržljiva, da lukenj ali odprtin ni mogoče bistveno razširiti brez vidnih sledi. Poleg tega premikanje enega samega konca ponjave ne sme dopustiti zamenjave prezračevalne naprave.
f) Prezračevalna odprtina ima lahko zaščitni del, ki mora biti na ponjavo pritrjen vsaj 5 cm od prezračevalne odprtine, tako da je mogoč njen carinski pregled.
2.2.1 c)-2 Pododstavek 1 c) – Odtočne odprtine
a) Velikost odprtine načelno ne sme presegati 35 mm.
b) Odprtine, skozi katere je mogoč neposreden dostop v oddelek za tovor, so prekrite na način, kot je predviden v odstavku b) navodil 2.2.1 c)-l za prezračevalne odprtine.
c) Kadar odtočne odprtine ne omogočajo neposrednega dostopa v oddelek za tovor, jih ni treba prekriti na način, ki ga predvideva zgornji odstavek b), če imajo odprtine varen sestav zavojev, ki je dostopen z notranje strani oddelka za tovor.

2.3.6 b) Pododstavek 6 b) – Stalno pritrjena ponjava
Če je en ali več robov ponjave stalno pritrjenih na vozilo, mora imeti ponjava trak iz kovine ali druge, primerne snovi, ki je pričvrščen na stranico vozila s pomočjo pritrdil, ki so v skladu z zahtevami odstavka a) navodil 2.2.1 a) tega dodatka.
2.3.8 Odstavek 8 – Razmik med obročki in med očesci
Razmik, večji od 200mm, ki pa ne presega 300mm, je sprejemljiv na, eni in drugi strani podpornika, če so obročki pritrjeni na koncu stranic in če so očesca ovalne oblike in tako velika, da jih je mogoče natakniti čez obročke.
2.3.9 Odstavek 9 – Jeklene vrvi z jedrom iz tkanine
Po tem odstavku so sprejemljive vrvi, sestavljene iz tkaninske osnove, obdane z vsaj štirimi žicami, sestavljenimi izključno iz jeklene niti, ki popolnoma prekrivajo notranjost, če je premer teh vrvi vsaj 3 mm (v kar ni vključena morebitna prevleka iz prozorne plastike).
2.3.11 a) Pododstavek 11 a) – Pričvrstilni zavihek ponjave
Na številnih vozilih ima ponjava na zunanji strani vodoraven zavihek z očesci, ki so razvrščena po vsej dolžini stranice vozila. Ti zavihki, imenovani pričvrstilni zavihki, so namenjeni za pritrditev ponjave z vrvjo ali podobnim sredstvom. Ti zavihki so se uporabljali za skrivanje vodoravnih zarez v ponjavi, ki so omogočale nezakonit dostop do blaga. Zato svetujemo, naj se ne dovoli uporaba te vrste zavihkov. Nadomestiti jih je mogoče:
a) s podobnimi pričvrstilnimi zavihki, pritrjenimi na notranji strani ponjave;
ali
b) z manjšimi posamičnimi zavihki, od katerih je vsak preluknjan z očescem, pritrjenim na zunanji strani ponjave. Očesca so razporejena z razmiki, ki omogočajo zadovoljivo pritrditev ponjave.
V nekaterih primerih se je mogoče tudi izogniti uporabi pričvrstilnih zavihkov na ponjavi.
2.3.11 c) Pododstavek 11 c) – Jermen pri ponjavi
2.3.11 c)-l Snovi, primerne za izdelavo jermenov, so:
a) usnje;
b) neraztegljive tekstilne snovi, vključno s plastificiranim ali gumiranim blagom, če jih po pretrgu ni mogoče privariti ali ponovno sestaviti brez vidnih sledi. Poleg tega mora biti plastična prevleka jermena prozorna in mora imeti gladko površino.
2.3.11 c)-2 Risba št. 3, ki je priložena temu dodatku, prikazuje pritrdilni pripomoček, ki ustreza določilom zadnjega dela 11. odstavka 3. člena dodatka 2. Ustreza pa tudi določilom 6. odstavka 3. člena dodatka 2.
3 DODATEK 3
3.0.17 Postopek za odobritev
1. Dodatek 3 določa, da lahko pristojne oblasti ene podpisnice izdajo potrdilo o odobritvi za vozilo, izdelano na ozemlju te podpisnice in da za to vozilo ne bo potreben noben dodatni postopek za potrditev v državi, kjer bo registrirano, ali, odvisno od primera, kjer ima njegov lastnik stalno bivališče.
2. Ta določila pa ne izključujejo pravice, da podpisnica, kjer je vozilo registrirano ali na ozemlju katere ima lastnik stalno bivališče, lahko zahteva predložitev potrdila o odobritvi vozila bodisi pri uvozu, bodisi kasneje pri registraciji ali pregledu vozila ali pri podobnih prilikah.
3.0.20 Postopek za vpis pripomb v potrdilo o odobritvi
Za razveljavitev zapisa o pomanjkljivosti, zaradi katere je bilo treba vozilo popraviti in vrniti v zadovoljivo stanje, je dovolj, da se v polje št. 11, ki je za to predvideno, vpiše opomba »pomanjkljivost odpravljena«, priimek, podpis in žig pristojnega organa.

Mednarodni prevoz blaga pod carinskim obeležjem se lahko opravlja le v zabojnikih, zgrajenih in opremljenih tako, da
a) iz obeleženega dela zabojnika ni mogoče izvleči ali vanj dodati blaga, brez vidnih sledi vloma oziroma ne da bi bilo poškodovano carinsko obeležje;
b) je carinsko obeležje mogoče pritrditi preprosto in učinkovito;
c) nima nobenega skritega prostora, kamor se da skriti blago;
d) so vsa mesta, kjer je mogoče naložiti blago, brez težav dostopna za carinske preglede.

1. V skladu z določili 1. člena tega pravilnika: a) morajo biti sestavni del zabojnika (stranice, podi, vrata, streha, podboji, okviri, preklade, itd) sestavljeni tako, da jih niti s pomočjo priprav niti s pomočjo postopkov ni mogoče od zunaj odstraniti in ponovno sestaviti brez vidnih sledi. Če so stranice, pod, vrata in streha sestavljeni iz različnih delov, morajo ustrezati zgornjim predpisom in biti dovolj trdni;
b) vrata in vsi drugi sestavi za zapiranje (vključno s pipami, pokrovi, prirobnicami, itd.) morajo biti opremljeni z napravo za pritrditev carinskega obeležja. Ta naprava mora biti takšna, da je z zunanje strani ni mogoče odstraniti in ponovno namestiti brez vidnih sledi ter da vrat ali drugih zapiral ni mogoče odpreti, ne da bi bilo poškodovano carinsko obeležje. Carinsko obeležje je treba primerno zavarovati. Dovoljena je pomična streha;
c) prezračevalne in odtočne odprtine morajo, biti opremljene z napravo, ki preprečuje dostop v notranjost zabojnika. Ta naprava mora biti takšna, da je ni mogoče odstraniti in ponovno namestiti brez vidnih sledi.
2. Ne glede na odstavek c) 1. člena tega pravilnika so pri zabojnikih dovoljeni sestavni deli, ki iz tehničnih razlogov vključujejo prazne prostore (na primer med predelnimi stenami dvojne stranice). Da pa se ti prostori ne bi mogli uporabiti za tihotapljenje, je treba upoštevati naslednje:
i) če notranja obloga zabojnika prekriva stranico po vsej njeni višini od poda do strehe oziroma če je prostor med to oblogo in zunanjo stranico popolnoma zaprt, mora biti omenjena obloga nameščena tako, da je ni mogoče odstraniti in ponovno namestiti brez vidnih sledi;
ii) če obloga ne prekriva stranice po vsej njeni višini in če prostor, ki to oblogo ločuje od zunanje stranice, ni popolnoma zaprt, kot tudi v vseh drugih primerih, kjer izdelava zabojnika zahteva votle prostore, naj bo teh prostorov čim manj, če pa že so naj bodo zlahka dostopni za carinske preglede.

Za zložljive ali razstavljive zabojnike veljajo določila 1. in 3. člena tega pravilnika; dodatno pa morajo imeti taki zabojniki zapahe za nepomičnost sestavnih delov, ko je zabojnik naložen na vozilo. Zapahi na zunanji strani morajo biti taki, da jih je mogoče obeležiti s carinskim obeležjem, potem ko je zabojnik zložen.

1. Za zabojnik s ponjavo veljajo določila 1. in 2. člena tega pravilnika, če je le mogoče. V vsem drugem pa morajo biti ta vozila v skladu z določili tega člena.
2. Ponjava mora biti iz močnega platna, iz plastificirane ali gumirane tkanine, ki se ne razteguje in je dovolj čvrsta. Ponjava mora biti v brezhibnem stanju, narejena pa mora biti tako, da po namestitvi naprave za zapiranje dostop v zabojnik ni več mogoč brez vidnih sledi.
3. Če je ponjava izdelana iz več kosov, morajo biti njihovi robovi preganjeni drug v drugega in sešiti skupaj z dvema šivoma v razmiku 15 mm. Ta šiva morata biti izdelana v skladu z risbo št. 1, ki je priložena temu pravilniku; če pa določenih delov ponjave, kot so zavihki in ojačani vogali, ni mogoče sešiti na ta način, zadostuje, da se zaviha rob zgornjega dela in se naredijo šivi, kot kaže skica št. 2, ki je priložena temu pravilniku. Eden od obeh šivov je viden le z notranje strani in je narejen s sukancem, katerega barva se močno razlikuje od barve ponjave in barve sukanca drugega šiva. Šivanje mora biti strojno.
4. Če je ponjava iz plastificirane tkanine in sestavljena iz več kosov, je te kose mogoče tudi zvariti v skladu s skico št. 3, ki je priložena temu pravilniku. Robova enega in drugega kosa se morata prekrivati vsaj za 15 mm. Kosa se morata prilegati po vsej širini prekritja. Zunanji rob spoja mora biti prekrit s plastičnim trakom, širokim vsaj 7 mm, ki se pritrdi po enakem varilnem postopku. Po tem traku in še po širini vsaj 3 mm na vsako stran traku se vtisne zelo razločen izbočeni vzorec. Kosi morajo biti zvarjeni tako, da jih ni mogoče ločiti in ponovno sestaviti brez vidnih sledi.
5. Ponjava se krpa na način, prikazan na skici št. 4, ki je priložena temu pravilniku. Robova je treba zapogniti enega v drugega in zašiti z dvema vidnima šivoma, ki sta vsaj 15 mm narazen. Barva sukanca, ki je viden z notranje strani, se mora razlikovati od barve sukanca, ki je viden z zunanje strani, in od barve ponjave. Šivanje mora biti strojno. Če je pri krpanju ponjave, ki je poškodovana na robovih, treba vstaviti nov kos tkanine, se šiv lahko naredi po navodilih iz 3. odstavka tega člena in po risbi št. 1, ki je priložena temu pravilniku. Tudi ponjave iz plastificirane tkanine je mogoče zakrpati na način, opisan v 4. odstavku tega člena, vendar je v tem primeru treba trak pritrditi na obeh straneh ponjave, krpa pa se namesti z notranje strani.
6. Ponjava se pritrdi na zabojnik tako, da je povsem v skladu z zahtevami odstavkov a) in b) 1. člena tega pravilnika. Uporabiti je mogoče naslednje načine pritrditve:
a) Ponjava je lahko pritrjena:
i) s kovinskimi obročki, nameščenimi na zabojnik.
ii) z očesci, vdelanimi v rob ponjave, in iii) z vezjo, ki teče skozi obročke nad ponjavo in je po vsej svoji dolžini vidna z zunanje strani.
Ponjava mora prekrivati trde dele tovorišča za vsaj 250 mm, merjeno od središča pritrdilnih obročkov, razen če izdelava vozila sama po sebi sploh ne dopušča dostopa do blaga.
b) Kadar mora biti rob ponjave trajno pritrjen na zabojnik, je stik neprekinjen in izveden s trajnimi pritrdili.
c) Če je pri ponjavi uporabljen sestav zapahov, morajo le-ti v zapahnjenem položaju ponjavo tesno priklepati na zunanjo stran zabojnika (kot primer glej risbo št. 6).
7. Ponjava je podprta z ustreznim ogrodjem (podporniki, stranice, loki, letve itd.).
8. Razmik med obročki ali med očesci ne sme biti večji od 200 mm. Lahko pa je tudi večji, čeprav največ 300 mm, pri obročkih ali očescih na eni ali drugi strani podpornika, če sta zabojnik in ponjava takšna, da onemogočata vsakršen dostop v notranjost zabojnika. Očesca morajo biti ojačena.
9. Uporabljajo se naslednja pritrdila: a) jeklene vrvi premera vsaj 3 mm; ali
b) vrvi iz konoplje ali sisala premera vsaj 8 mm v ovoju iz prozorne neraztegljive plastike.
Vrvi so lahko ovite z omotom iz prozorne neraztegljive plastike.
Če je treba ponjavo pritrditi na okvir takega zabojnika, ki je sicer v skladu s točko a) 6. odstavka tega člena, je kot pritrdilo mogoče uporabiti jermen (tak primer je prikazan na risbi št. 7, ki je priložena temu dodatku). Jermen mora biti v skladu z zahtevami, navedenimi v točki c) 11. odstavka, ki določajo njegovo snov, velikost in obliko.
10. Vsaka jeklena ali tkaninska vrv mora biti iz enega kosa in mora imeti svoja skrajna konca obložena s trdo kovino. Sponka vsakega kovinskega zaključka mora imeti votlo zakovico, ki gre skozi vrv in omogoča, da se skoznjo lahko vdene vrvica carinskega obeležja. Vrv mora ostati vidna z ene in druge strani votle zakovice, tako da se je možno prepričati, da je vrv res iz enega kosa (glej risbo št. 5, ki je priložena temu pravilniku).
11. Tam, kjer se ponjava dvigne pri nakladanju in razkladanju, se morata oba robova zadovoljivo prekrivati. Pritrjena sta:
a) s prišitim ali privarjenim zavihkom v skladu s 3. in 4. odstavkom tega člena;
b) s kovinskimi obročki ali očesci, ki so v skladu z zahtevami 8. odstavka tega člena; in
c) z neraztegljivim, vsaj 20 mm širokim in 3 mm debelim jermenom iz ustrezne snovi, ki gre skozi obroče in drži skupaj oba robova ponjave in zavihek; jermen je pritrjen znotraj ponjave in opremljen z očescem, skozi katerega poteka kabel ali vrv, omenjen v 9. odstavku tega člena.
Zavihek ni potreben, če je nameščena posebna naprava (zapora itd.), ki preprečuje dostop do blaga brez vidnih sledi.
12. Razpoznavne številke, ki jih mora imeti zabojnik, kot tudi oznaka o odobritvi, o kateri govori drugi del tega dodatka, v nobenem primeru ne sme prekrivati ponjava.

Do 1. januarja 1977 so dovoljeni kovinski zaključki, ki ustrezajo risbi št. 5 tega pravilnika, čeprav ima njihova votla zakovica, ki je bila odobrena že prej, manjšo odprtino, kot je predvideno na tej risbi.

1. Za zabojnike je mogoče pridobiti odobritev za prevoz blaga pod carinskim obeležjem:
a) bodisi v proizvodnem postopku glede na vrsto izdelave (postopek za odobritev v postopku izdelave);
b) bodisi za posamezne zabojnike ali za določeno število zabojnikov iste vrste (postopek potrditve po končani proizvodnji).

2. Po odobritvi izda za to pristojno oblastvo prosilcu »potrdilo o odobritvi«, veljavno, glede na primer, za neomejeno število zabojnikov odobrene vrste ali le za določeno število zabojnikov.
3. Uporabnik, ki mu je bilo izdano potrdilo o odobritvi, mora pred prevozom blaga pod carinskim obeležjem pritrditi na odobreni zabojnik oziroma zabojnike oznako (tablico) o odobritvi.
4. Tablica (oznaka) o odobritvi mora biti stalno pritrjena na dobro vidnem mestu poleg drugih uradnih oznak.
5. Oznaka o odobritvi, prikazana na vzorcu št. Iv prilogi 1 tega dela, je kovinska tablica, dolga vsaj 20cm in široka vsaj 10 cm. Na njeno površino so vtisnjeni z vbočeno ali izbočeno tehniko ali kako drugače čitljivo izpisani naslednji podatki vsaj v francoščini ali angleščini:
a) »Odobreno za prevoz pod carinskim obeležjem«;
b) ime države, v kateri je bil zabojnik odobren, bodisi izpisano ali s kratico, ki se uporablja pri registraciji vozil v mednarodnem cestnem prometu, in številka potrdila o odobritvi (številke, črke itd.) kot tudi leto odobritve (na primer »NL/ 26/73« pomeni: Nizozemska, potrdilo o odobritvi št. 26, izdano leta 1973);
c) številka vrste zabojnika, ki jo določi proizvajalec (tovarniška številka);
d) razpoznavne številke ali črke vrste zabojnika, če je bil zabojnik odobren na podlagi vrste izdelave.
6. Če zabojnik ne izpolnjuje več tehničnih pogojev, predpisanih za njegovo odobritev, mora biti pred nadaljnjimi prevozi blaga pod carinskim obeležjem spet vzpostavljeno stanje, na podlagi katerega je bil odobren.
7. Če se spremenijo osnovne značilnosti zabojnika, potrdilo o odobritvi preneha veljati in mora pristojna uprava pred nadaljnjimi prevozi pod carinskim obeležjem izdati novo potrdilo.

8. Če proizvajajo zabojnike enega za drugim (serijsko), lahko proizvajalec pri pristojnem oblastvu svoje države zaprosi za odobritev po vrsti izdelave.
9. Proizvajalec mora v svoji prošnji navesti razpoznavne številke ali črke vrste zabojnika, za katerega prosi za odobritev.
10. Prošnji morajo biti priloženi načrti in podroben opis izdelave zadevne vrste zabojnika.
11. Proizvajalec se mora pisno zavezati:
a) da bo pristojnim oblastem omogočil pregled vseh tistih zabojnikov te vrste, ki jih bo urad želel pregledati;
b) da bo pristojnim oblastem omogočil pregled drugih enot kadar koli med izdelovanjem te vrste zabojnikov;
c) da bo pristojne oblasti predhodno obvestil o vsaki spremembi načrtov ali opisov glede nagnjeno pomembnost;
d) da bo na zabojnike na vidno mesto pritrdil poleg oznak o odobritvi tudi razpoznavno številko ali črke vrste izdelave kot tudi številko vsakega zabojnika v določeni vrsti (tovarniška številka);
e) da bo vodil razvide za zabojnike, narejene po odobreni vrsti.
12. Pristojne oblasti bodo sporočale, katere spremembe so potrebne, da bi dosegli odobritev pri predvideni vrsti izdelave.
13. Nobena vrsta izdelave ne bo odobrena, ne da bi pristojne oblasti na podlagi pregleda enega ali več zabojnikov, narejenih po tej vrsti izdelave, ugotovile, da zabojniki te vrste ustrezajo tehničnim pogojem iz prvega dela tega dodatka.
14. Ko je določen tip zabojnikov odobren, prejme prosilec potrdilo o odobritvi, prikazano na vzorcu št. II, ki je v prilogi št. 2 tega dela, in velja za vse zabojnike, izdelane v skladu ž odobrenimi posli. Na podlagi tega potrdila ima proizvajalec pravico opremiti vsak zabojnik te vrste z oznako o odobritvi vzorca, opisano v 5. odstavku dela.

15. Če prošnja za odobritev ni bita vložena v postopku izdelave, lahko lastnik, uporabnik ali predstavnik enega ali drugega prosi za odobritev pri tistih pristojnih oblasteh, ki jim lahko zabojnik ali zabojnike, za katere prosi odobritev, dostavi v pregled.
16. Vsaka prošnja za odobritev, vložena v primeru, ki ga predvideva 15. odstavek, mora vsebovati zaporedno številko (tovarniško številko), ki jo vsakemu zabojniku da. proizvajalec.
17. Pristojne oblasti bodo pregledale toliko zabojnikov, kot se jim bo zdelo potrebno, in bodo po ugotovitvi, da zabojnik ali zabojniki izpolnjujejo tehnične pogoje, navedene v prvem delu, izdale potrdilo o odobritvi, ponazorjeno z vzorcem št. III, ki je v prilogi 3 tega dela, in veljavno le za odobrene zabojnike. Na podlagi tega potrdila, v katerem bo vpisana številka vrste ali številke zabojnika ali zabojnikov, na katere se potrdilo nanaša, bo prosilec lahko pritrdil na vsak odobreni zabojnik oznako o odobritvi, predvideno v 5. odstavku tega dela.

1. Dodatna obrazložitev, ki se nanaša na dodatek 2 in je vključena v dodatek 6 te Konvencije, se s potrebnimi spremembami nanaša tudi na zabojnike, odobrene za prevoz pod carinskim obeležjem.
