The trader reference number specifies the customs declaration and is issued by the declarant. It can be e.g. the customs warehouse deposit number. You can also enter another reference under ‘Additional trader reference number’. 

Total gross mass is the total weight of the entire consignment in kilograms. The gross mass is the weight of the goods including packaging, without the means of transport or containers.

The warehouse ID is written without spaces.
