168I: Incorporation of material in transport instruments

You could also call this:

“Transport instruments can include extra information from other documents”

You can include other documents or information in transport instruments. This works the same way as including information in rules. When you do this, the included information becomes part of the regulation or rule that the transport instrument is connected to.

If you want to know more about how to include other documents in transport instruments, you can look at Section 165. When you read that section, just think of ‘transport instruments’ whenever it says ‘rules’, and think of ‘the person making the transport instrument’ whenever it talks about ‘the person making the rule’.
