Frequently Asked Questions
Direct answers regarding HMRC CDS requirements, commodity codes, and clearance timelines.
What is a T1 transit document?
A T1 document allows goods originating outside the UK or EU to move under customs bond between two customs points without immediate payment of customs duty and VAT.
Why is a customs financial guarantee needed for transit?
HMRC and European customs authorities require a financial bond to guarantee that duties and taxes will be paid if the goods are diverted or fail to reach their declared destination.
What happens when the goods reach their destination?
The authorized consignee or customs office at destination logs the arrival in NCTS, inspecting seals if applicable and discharging the guarantee.
