Hauliers with a regular traffic in trailers will only be required to submit a declaration to the collector for each port at which their trailers or semitrailers are re-imported, in the following form:— " To the Collector of Customs and Excise at
" We of declare that the trailers specified on the attached list and any other trailers that we may subsequently request to be added thereto, were either made in the United Kingdom and any duties chargeable on them, of on the materials used in their manufacture, duly paid or were originally made abroad and all duties chargeable thereon previously paid, " We further declare that no drawback, allowance or refund of Customs or Excise duty has been ot will be claimed on exportation.
" We request that these trailers on re-importation may be delivered free at duty and we undertake to advise you if any trailer should undergo whilst abroad any process, repair, renovation or alteration other than ordinary running repairs, incidental to the use of the vehicle."
