Transit procedures are customs procedures that allow goods with either EU or non-EU customs status to move within the EU or through third countries that are parties to the Common Transit Convention (CTC).
The transit procedure involves transporting goods under customs supervision to a destination where the transit procedure is concluded, and the goods are placed under a subsequent customs procedure, such as release for free circulation.
NCTS (New Computerised Transit System) is an IT system designed to manage the Union transit procedure within the European Union as well as the Common Transit Procedure (CTP) under the Common Transit Convention.
A TIR Carnet is an international customs transit document that facilitates the transport of goods between at least two customs territories. It allows for the implementation of the TIR procedure based on the provisions of the TIR Convention.
