II. Type, quantity and value of goods.
The type of articles is reported according to the list of goods for the state statistics of foreign trade issued by the State Statistical Office in Prague on the basis of the Customs Tariff. The list will be published by the President of the State Statistical Office in Prague. It is sufficient for the publication of this list to be published if the President of the State Statistical Office in Prague in the Official Journal of the Czechoslovak Republic and in the Official Journal, indicating where and what this list can be purchased, for example, to be consulted.
(1) Where several types of goods appear separately in the same number (in the same paragraph of the same number), the full name of the number (s) must not be statistically reported, but only the species to be transported must be reported.
(2) Where a consignment contains several types of goods of the same statistical number (paragraphs), each species must be reported in particular (§ 19).
(3) Where a statistical list of the names of the goods is prescribed according to the name usual in the store, either the goods are reported by that name. This does not need to be literally named by the statistical list, but the name common in the store must be so precise that the reported goods can be classified under the given statistical number.
(4) Name of general, such as fruit, vegetables, goods of settlers, handicrafts, trimmings, medicines, etc., is not allowed.
(1) The type of articles re-exported after processing is either declared by the name which they are entitled to after processing as export goods; the way the processing happened doesn't matter.
(2) The provisions of paragraph 1 shall apply mutatis mutandis to re-entry into the Czechoslovak customs territory after processing in the foreign customs territory.
(1) The quantity of articles either reported for the external trade statistics on imports and exports of goods charged in the trade by weight in addition to the gross weight of the whole consignment shall also be net weight for the goods of each statistical item in particular.

The provisions on amendments to the list of goods apply (Section 4).
(3) The net weight of the goods (net) in external trade statistics means the weight of the goods on a regular basis (without all packaging and inserts). For some types of goods, smaller inner packaging, which gives the goods a better look, as well as all other small inner packaging and inserts, which protect the goods or which regularly pass on to the buyer in retail sales.
(4) In transit, quantities of goods are reported by gross weight.
(1) As the value of the imported goods is reported when goods have been purchased abroad, the actual purchase price of those goods abroad (according to the invoice) increased by the cost of packaging and procurement, insurance premiums and transport charges up to the Czechoslovak customs border. The import duties and other levies levied on such duties shall not be included in the value of the goods. Where imported goods have not been purchased abroad, the value of the goods shall be reported as the price of those goods at the place of destination in the Czechoslovak customs territory, reduced by the cost of transport and insurance from the Czechoslovak customs border to the place of destination in the customs territory; import duties and other domestic levies imposed on those goods shall also not be included in the value of the goods.
(2) As the value of the goods exported was reported when goods were sold abroad, the actual selling price of those goods (according to the invoice) at the place of sale, increased by the cost of packaging and procurement, insurance premiums and freight charges up to the Czechoslovak customs border. Export duties and other export levies shall be included in the value of the goods. If the goods have not been exported to a customs foreign country, the value of the goods shall be reported as the price of the goods at the place from which the goods directly destined for the foreign country were shipped, increased by transport costs and insurance premiums, both from that place to the Czechoslovak customs border.
(3) In addition to the value of the goods at the border, expressed in Czechoslovak crowns, the total amount actually charged for the consignment, in the original currency charged, as well as the month in which the account is to be paid, is due to be declared both at import and export.
(4) The value must be reported in Czechoslovak crowns. If the purchase or sale price is agreed in foreign currency, either take as a basis the course between the buyer and the seller in the present case when converted into Czechoslovak crowns. If the conversion rate has not yet been agreed on the date of the statistical reporting between the parties, the value shall be reported according to the last official rate (import of "goods', export of" money ') before the date of the statistical reporting.
(5) The Statistical Office of the State shall be entitled to check the value of the goods to be requested from the consignor or consignee of the consignments or their agents to submit an invoice.
III. Country of origin and country of destination.
(1) As country of origin, either the country of the consignment (commercial country) is reported in the import; If the country of production is also required to report to the person, this shall also be reported.
(2) The country of dispatch is the country from which the goods are consigned with a direct designation to the Czechoslovak Republic; if the goods have been purchased abroad, the country from which they were delivered (commercial country).
(3) The country of manufacture shall be the country in which the goods, as a natural product, have been produced or further processed, have acquired the nature in which they are imported.
(4) When exporting foreign goods and transit, it is sufficient for a person not to be required to be notified to the country of consignment (commercial country) to report as the country of origin the country from which the goods actually entered the Czechoslovak customs territory. If the country of origin is not even known to the declarant when exporting foreign goods, it is sufficient that the goods are only reported to be exported foreign goods. Goods shall be considered to be foreign goods which are exported in the same nature as the total external arrangements in which they were imported into the Czechoslovak customs territory. A simple coating which does not alter either the nature or the overall external appearance of the goods or its measures by other external or internal packaging shall not be considered as a change in the nature of the goods.
(5) On re-importation after processing or repair, either declared as the country of origin of the country in which the processing or repair took place; on re-importation, in other cases, the customs record of the country which was declared as the country of destination at the original exit of the goods.
The country of destination shall be the country which is the last known destination of the consignment; if goods have been sold abroad, the country to which the sale has taken place (the country of trade).
The list of countries under which goods are to be declared for foreign trade statistics shall be amended by the State Statistical Office in an agreement with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade. This list, as well as its amendments, shall be published by the President of the State Statistical Office in the Official Journal of the Republic of Czechoslovakia and in the Official Journal.
IV. Persons required for statistical reporting, location and method of reporting.
(1) Statistical reporting shall be required: upon importation by, or on behalf of, the consignee or his agent, public transport undertakings of all kinds which declare or propose the customs treatment of the goods. If the goods have not been declared for customs consultation (e.g. partial importation to the party who issued the goods by mistake), they shall be required to report the goods to the recipient. Where the beneficiary's agent or public transport undertaking cannot properly report the value of the goods or other information requested on the declaration, it shall be the duty of the consignee to report the value or other missing information to the statistical office without inviting the public authority directly, in a manner which is more detailed in Section 17.

If they are not mentioned, it shall be identified by the State Office of Statistics itself with the consignee of the goods.
(3) On exportation, the consignor or his agent or on their behalf shall be obliged to submit a statistical report to the public transport undertaking which initiates the exit procedure. If the goods have not been declared for exit clearance (or partial export), they shall be required to report the exporter.
(4) In the case of transit, the person who initiated the transfer order shall be required to report the statistical report.
(5) The person reporting statistically is responsible for the accuracy and completeness of his report.
The statistical report is:

(c) on exportation by post (excluding customs entry) directly at the post office;
(d) on transit to the customs office indicating the consignment for transit.
In the case of carriage of goods by road, if permitted under customs legislation, the statistical report shall be made with those customs offices or financial authorities which have been authorised by the customs administration to receive it.

(b) on import and export, undertakings which have been authorised to report the value of goods to the State Office directly.
The first sheet of the double check is marked A- a, the second A- b. On importation, the customs office shall issue an A- certificate to the agent or to the public transport undertaking to deliver it to the consignee of the goods which are required to examine all the information on that document, if corrected and supplemented, as well as to enter the value of each type of goods declared therein and send it within 48 hours of delivery from the customs office directly to the statistical office.
