Securities (deposits) are provided (lodged) and returned according to the established order of Procedure of Security (Deposit) Issuance (Lodging) and Withdrawal Thereof by the Customs Department. The security system established by the Customs Convention on International Transport of Goods under the cover of TIR Carnets (Geneva, 14 November, 1975) is applied to goods that in the course of transportation are subject to the customs transit procedure under the cover of TIR Carnets, and is applied to alcohol drinks and tobacco products that in the course of transportation are subject to customs transit procedure under the cover of TIR Carnets with the inscription of "TOBACCO ALCOHOL". If goods, subject to the customs transit procedure are transshipped from one means of transport into another means of transport without unloading them from a road vehicle (including trailers, semi-trailers and combinations of vehicles) or containers, are transported under cover of TIR Carnets, the security system, as established by the Customs Convention on International Transport of Goods under cover of TIR Carnets (Geneva 14 November 1975), is also applied if the aforementioned goods are transported by roads only as part of their route. The following goods are transported under cover of TIR Carnets with the inscription "TOBACCO ALCOHOL": undernatured ethyl alcohol of an alcoholic strength by volume not less than 80 % (code according Harmonized Goods Nomenclature of the EEC - 2207.10); undernatured ethyl alcohol of an alcoholic strength by volume not less than 80 %; vodka, liqueurs and other spirituous beverages; compound alcoholic preparations used for the manufacture of beverages (code according to Harmonized Goods Nomenclature of the EEC - 22.08); cigars, including cheroots and cigarillos of tobacco (code according to Community Harmonized Goods Nomenclature of the EEC - 2402.10); cigarettes with tobacco (code according to Harmonized Goods Nomenclature of the EEC - 2402.20); smoking tobacco, whether or not containing tobacco substitutes in any proportion (code according to Harmonized Goods Nomenclature of the EEC - 2403.10); Security system established in the Customs Convention on the International Transport of Goods under cover of TIR Carnets (Geneva, 14 November 1975) is not applied to the aforementioned goods transported under cover of TIR Carnets without inscription "TOBACCO ALCOHOL". 8. While formalizing customs transit clearance procedure at the office of departure, the customs takes all the necessary measures to enable at the office of destination to identify goods and all operations carried out therewith without the customs sanctions. Goods presented to the customs transit procedure are inspected only in the event of suspicion that their transportation breaches the laws and other regulatory provisions of the Republic of Lithuania. 9. Transport units used for transporting goods are to be impressed with customs seals, if they are constructed and equipped in the following way: seals may be impressed on transport units in a simple and reliable way; goods shall not be taken from the sealed transport unit or put into it without breaching customs seal or without leaving any noticeable marks on the outside of the transport unit; there are no cavities to hide goods; all locations for the placement of the transported goods are freely accessible for the customs control. Suitability of transport units for transporting goods under the customs seal is recognized by the international agreements, laws, other regulatory provisions of the Republic of Lithuania and according to the procedure established by the Customs Department. If the requirements of goods security are met, the customs has the right to seal transport units, which according to the established order, are recognized as unsuitable to transport goods under the customs seal. Goods, indicated in this procedure and specified by the Customs Department, can be transported only by transport units subject to the customs transit procedure which are suitable to transport goods under the customs seal. To establish that the seals can be impressed and the identification code can be affixed on labeled goods, goods can be described in detail (specification of goods done while inspecting them and registering inspection results, drawings and photographs are attached to the customs declaration or any other document used for formalization of customs clearance procedure), specimens or samples of goods can be taken in order to identify goods and all operations carried out without sanctions provided by the customs when goods are transported by transport units which can not be reliably sealed with the customs seal. 10. The seals and identification codes affixed by the customs institution must be indicated in the customs declaration or other documents used by the customs in the course of an official customs transit registration procedure. When, in the process of goods control, the customs seal and the identification code is removed, the customs seal and the identification code affixed anew must be specified in the customs declaration or another document, attached to the transported goods, used by the customs in the course of making an official registration of the customs transit procedures. 11. According to the international agreements with the customs administration of other states or at their own discretion, the customs, while carrying out the customs transit procedures, has the right to recognize the affixed seals or identification codes of other customs institutions of other states. In these cases the seals and identification codes, affixed by other customs institutions of other states, are treated with the equal implications and security as the seals and identification codes affixed by the customs institutions of the Republic of Lithuania. 12.
