In the UK, the carbohydrate count listed on the label represents net carbs (which is what we count on Atkins). In the US, the total carbohydrate and the dietary fiber are listed, and one has to do the math to get the net carbs. 
__________________ "The truth is that temptation lurks everywhere, unless you deny yourself a social and working life and the attendant pleasures of eating out. I believe that the best way to overcome temptation is not with willpower, which is so often in short supply, but with our brain power, a potentially unlimited resource. Imagine that you're doing great, losing weight, feeling better than ever, thrilled with yourself, hearing compliments from friends and acquaintances---and then it happens! Despite all your good intentions, you're mightily tempted by a food you're not supposed to have. What to do? I'll tell you this: You'd better have a strategy ready!" (Dr. Atkins' New Diet Revolution, Chapter 19) |

As Georgiana says, the carbs listed on the label are net carbs (the fibre has already been deducted) so don't deduct the fibre. Zx
