Our DoCs are currently in the manual, but for the last 6 years the
manuals are only available in electronic format (on CD). So the
customs guys would not be able to see the DoC from what we ship anyway.
Formally, that is wrong.
I'm not aware of any issues this has caused, so far. But who knows what
the future holds.
Indeed. The EU is tightening border and inland surveillance because of
so much bad and counterfeit stuff coming in from new EU countries. So
you can *expect* shipments to be held in future if there is any
irregularity at all.
Not that any faker in a right mind would try to ship in via Germany,
Austria, France or probably Britain, but the sheer unexpectedness of
such a ploy might pay off. And the officials in those countries have to
justify their increased budgets by catching miscreants. This is a
sensitive area, because the most pro-active authorities have tended to
check a thousand products and find only fifty violations, while very
many more violations were not discovered. I suspect they don't know the
nature of the market well enough to recognize likely targets.
