A system that manages cargo movement between departure and destination offices through guarantees and electronic messages. Technical facts, the commercial scenario and current regulations should be assessed together.
Why transit is used
It allows goods to move between customs offices or across a country while import duties remain suspended.
NCTS flow
The transit declaration, guarantee, departure controls, movement time and arrival notification are connected through electronic messages.
Carrier responsibility
Document, seal, route and time-limit compliance matter. The procedure does not close automatically before arrival formalities.
Closure control
Arrival results and discharge status should be monitored. Open transit movements can create guarantee and compliance risks.
