Hi Doug, My thoughts are that typically company letterhead would display the corporate logo/brand, their address and phone. Since your client used the UK based office letterhead this would be very relevant in meeting the requirements of DoC. As you indicated as long as critical information wasn't missing you would think that this approach would be acceptable.

I hope to hear your thoughts and experiences on this topic. We were discussing manufacturer's Declarations of Conformity. I made the statement that the EC Declaration should be on the manufacturer's letterhead. My client indicated that they had originally done that, issuing their declarations on the letterhead of their UK-based office. They then claimed that customs inspectors in Poland and Turkey had rejected their declarations because they were on their letterhead. I have never heard of this, and certainly know of no legislation that would support rejecting a manufacturer's declaration on this basis. I can believe that the declarations were rejected because they were missing critical information, or were incomplete in some other way. What are your experiences? Have you had declarations rejected by customs or by customs brokers in any EU member state for the same, or a similar reason? What was the resolution for you? Doug NIX, C.E.T.
