- UKTZED code. Do not determine it "approximately". One wrong digit = a 5–15% change in the duty rate.
- Customs value. State the real transaction price. Do not understate or overstate it — customs compares it with its database.
- Contract and payment currency. They must match or be logically justified.
- Country of origin. It determines the preferential duty rate. A certificate of origin is mandatory.
- Consignor. Must match the invoice and the contract.
- Description of goods. The technical characteristics must match the UKTZED code.
- Contract number and date. Check that they match the invoice.
- Delivery terms (Incoterms). They determine whether logistics are included in the value.
- Net/gross weight. A discrepancy of more than 3% = grounds for an inspection.
- Number of packages. Must match the packing list.
- Code of the clearing customs office. Check the broker's authority.
- Signature and seal. The broker's electronic signature must be valid.
