TEXT:

We are anticipating handling in September an imported shipment on a Carnet basis of one DAF tractor and one trailer with a self contained jumbo video screen (27 square yards in area when completely set up) that will be used in a concert tour throughout the United States over a 30 days period of time. At the end of the 30 days period this will be completed exported.

In order to be sure that we are not overlooking any important factors, we would appreciate your legal interpretation in what is necessary for this vehicle and trailer to travel throughout the United States. We understand that your form HS7 would be used and box 7 would be completed.

The DAF cab is 6,900 kilos and the trailer with jumbo video screen is 26 tons.

This screen costs $20,000 per day and it is extremely important that we avoid any delays which may occur regarding problems with Department of Transportation.

We must respond next week to our customer in the Netherlands so that they can start working on this project. Please advise as soon as possible any particulars we need to know.

We would appreciated receiving your response by fax if possible.

If any other details are necessary for your interpretation please let me know.
