Form TF300 – the trailer/semi-trailer weight identification certificate. This certificate should be completed and stamped by the manufacturer/assembler or his authorised agent. If this proves impracticable (the reasons why should be stated on Form TF300), t he applicant should complete the certificate and sign the declaration.
