The way that field is used is under the responsibility of National Administrations but each transit transaction handled during one year within the given country must have a unique number.\nNational Administrations that want to have the office reference number of the customs authorities included in the MRN, could use up to the first 6 characters to insert the national number of the office.\nField 4 has to be filled with a value that is a check digit for the whole MRN. This field allows for the detection of an error when capturing the whole MRN.\nThe ‘MRN’ shall also be printed in bar code mode using the standard ‘code 128’, character set ‘B’.\n2.. Box 3:\nfirst subdivision: serial number of the current printed sheet,\nsecond subdivision: total number of sheets printed (incl. list of items),\nshall not be used when there is only one item.\n3.. In the space to the right of box 8:\nName and address of the customs office to which the return copy of the transit accompanying document has to be returned where the business continuity procedure for transit is used.\n4.. Box C:\nthe name of the office of departure,\nreference number of the office of departure,\nacceptance date of the transit declaration,\nthe name and the authorisation number of the authorised consignor (if any).\n5.. Box D:\ncontrol results,\nseals affixed or the indication ‘- -’ identifying the ‘Waiver — 99201’,\nthe indication ‘Binding itinerary’, where appropriate.\nThe transit accompanying document shall not be modified nor shall any addition or deletion be made thereto unless otherwise specified in this Regulation.\n6.. Formalities en route\nBetween the time when the goods leave the office of departure and the time they arrive at the office of destination, certain details may have to be added on the transit accompanying document accompanying the goods. The details relate to the transport operation and must be entered by the carrier responsible for the means of transport on which the goods are loaded as and when the corresponding activities are carried out. The particulars may be added legibly by hand, in which case the entries should be made in ink and in block letters.\nCarriers are reminded that goods can be transhipped only under an authorisation of the customs authorities of the country in whose territory the transhipment is to be made.\nWhere those authorities consider that the Union transit operation concerned may continue in the normal way they shall, once they have taken any steps that may be necessary, endorse the transit accompanying documents.\nThe customs authorities at the office of transit or office of destination, as the case may be, have the obligation to incorporate into the system the added data on the transit accompanying document. The data can also be incorporated by the authorised consignee.\nThe boxes and activities involved are:\nTranshipment: use box 55.\nBox 55: Transhipment\nThe carrier must complete the first three lines of this box when goods are transhipped from one means of transport to another or from one container to another in the course of the operation in question.\nHowever, where goods are carried in containers that are to be transported by road vehicles, customs authorities may authorise the holder of the procedure to leave box 18 blank where the logistical pattern at the point of departure may prevent the identity and nationality of the means of transport from being provided at the time of establishment of the transit declaration, and where they can ensure that the proper information concerning the means of transport shall be subsequently entered in box 55.\nOther incidents: use box 56.\nBox 56: Other incidents during carriage\nBox to be completed in accordance with current obligations regarding transit.\nIn addition, where goods have been loaded on a semi-trailer and the tractor is changed during the journey (without the goods being handled or transhipped), enter in this box the registration number and nationality of the new tractor. In this case, endorsement by the competent authorities is not necessary.",
