HC Deb 30 October 1952 vol 505 c237W
Mr. Callaghan

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury what procedure, other than joining the Automobile Association, should be followed by a motorist who wishes to obtain customs clearance for motor vehicles in order to take his car abroad.

Mr. Boyd-Carpenter

Such a motorist should produce the car to the Customs on exportation, together with a declaration on an official identification form, or on a similar form provided by the A.A. or the R.A.C. If the car is being exported to certain countries abroad, the motorist must also furnish an Exchange Control declaration, stamped by the Bank of England. The foreign Customs authorities will probably require security to be given for any Customs charges due either by deposit or bond, or by production of acarnet or triptyque obtainable from the A.A. or the R.A.C.
