The green cover sheet contains all the information on the carnet holder and, where appropriate, their representative and also details of :

- where they can be used
- the period of validity.
The face of the sheet contains the following information:
| Box | Information required |

On the back of the cover sheet is the ‘General List’. This list details the goods covered by the carnet and should give sufficient information to easily identify the goods as well as prevent substitution. It should list all goods that may travel using the carnet even if they are not on this particular trip.
Column 7 is reserved for customs to note any additional marks or any other information required for the identification of the goods. If the list is not detailed enough officers may insist on this column being completed or complete it themselves. A carnet holder may also attach photographs where needed.
The green cover sheet will remain with the carnet for its entire validity.
