Article 8
1. Where on completion of customs export formalities products are placed under one of the procedures provided for in Section 1 of Title IV of Regulation (EEC) No 223/77 for carriage to a station or a consignee in the Member State of destination, the office of departure shall ensure that the following endorsement is entered on the export declaration: "Departure from the geographical territory of (Member State of departure) under the simplified Community (rail/large containers) transit procedure". 2. The office of departure may permit the contract of carriage to be modified so that the operation is ended within the Member State of departure only if it is established: - that, if the accession compensatory amount has already been paid, such amount has been repaid, or - that the necessary steps have been taken by the authorities concerned to ensure that the accession compensatory amount is not paid. However, if the accession compensatory amounts have been paid pursuant to Article 9 (1) and the product has not left the Member State of departure, the office of departure shall so inform the agency responsible for payment of the accession compensatory amount and shall provide it as soon as possible with all the necessary particulars. In such cases the accession compensatory amount shall be regarded as having been wrongly paid.
