Transit declarations: T1, T2 and the final destination

Customs status decides the procedure

T1 is generally used for non-Union goods; T2 is used in relevant movements for Union goods. The dispatch country alone does not establish the goods’ customs status. We need the existing documents, route and intended destination to determine which procedure is appropriate with the responsible customs representative.

Know who carries the responsibility

A transit movement has a holder, may require a guarantee and has a destination and time limit. The carrier needs the movement reference and instructions. The goods must be presented or received under the applicable authorised procedure. A warehouse delivery receipt is not automatically proof that transit has been discharged.

Plan the next customs procedure

Transit suspends the relevant import charges during the movement; it does not make the goods tax-free. At the destination, the goods must enter the agreed next procedure, such as import clearance or another authorised customs arrangement. Confirm the office or authorised consignee before the vehicle departs.

Connect transit to the border information

For Norwegian road crossings using Digitoll, the transit reference belongs in the relevant consignment information. Who completes the movement depends on whether it ends at the border or at an authorised inland destination. We confirm this sequence as part of the quote rather than treating T1 as a generic extra document.
