Contingent liabilities (1)

A $400,000 guarantee is held with RBS as an International Chamber of Commerce World Chambers Federation World ATA Carnet Council requirement to provide evidence of the Chamber’s aptitude to fully and correctly assume the administrative and financial obligations incumbent on the guarantors of the duties and taxes payable on goods covered by the ATA Carnets issued under its responsibility.
