Goods into the country under the Common Transit Convention and you’ve been instructed to report to a site for those goods to be checked
Goods, excluding live animals, using an ATA Carnet
Goods, excluding live animals, covered by the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES)
