If the exporter has declared goods using automatic bagging, canning, bottling etc. systems and calibrated automatic weighing/measuring equipment or packaging or bottling in compliance with the provisions of Council Directive 75/106/EEC (1) and Council Directive 75/107/EEC (2), the number of bags, cans, bottles, etc. must in principle be counted in total and the nature and characteristics of the goods must be checked on the basis of a representative selection by the customs office of export. The weight or volume is determined by calibrated automatic weighing/measuring or by the packaging or the bottles within the meaning of the two Directives. The customs office of export can weigh or measure a bag, a can or a bottle.
