FTP - Temporary Import/Export of Exhibits - Only one bond

AS per Para 2.63(a) of the Handbook of Procedures, 2015-20,

This is now amended to read as:

The condition of submitting of both bond / security to Customs and ATA Carnet have been replaced by either bond / security to Customs or ATA Carnet.
