  • The registration number of the vehicle making the crossing (unless the movement will be unaccompanied)
  • Whether the vehicle arriving at check—in will accompany the movement on the crossing
  • The trailer numbers of all trailers attached to the vehicle
  • The direction of the crossing
  • Movement Reference Numbers for if required for goods within the vehicle and its trailers
  • Safety and security declaration references if required for goods within the vehicle and its trailers
  • Transit declaration references if required for goods within the vehicle and its trailers
  • Entry Into Declarant’s Records
