Article 14 Reports on physical checks
United Kingdom
Each customs office of export shall make the necessary arrangements to ensure that compliance with the rate of physical checks referred to in Article 6 can be verified at any time.
Those arrangements shall show, for each product sector:
the number of export declarations taken into account for the physical checks;
the number of physical checks carried out.
The competent customs official shall produce a detailed inspection report on each physical check carried out.
Inspection reports shall at least include relevant details on:
the place, date, time of arrival, time of completion of the physical check, means of transport for the products, whether the means of transport were empty, partially or completely loaded at the beginning of the control procedure, the number of samples taken for a laboratory analysis, and the name and signature of the competent officer; and

Without prejudice to Article 9 of Regulation (EC) No 885/2006 the inspection reports and the document mentioning the reason for selecting the export declaration for a physical check shall be kept accessible for consultation for three years from the year of export at the customs office which carried out the physical check, or at one place in the Member State.
