Transit of goods

If you take goods from A to B under the supervision of Customs, this is known as customs transit. If goods are introduced into the Netherlands from a non-EU country, they will be under customs supervision. In most cases you will need a transport document for customs transit. Which document you need depends on the actual situation.

Customs transit procedure

Many of the goods are subsequently transported from the Netherlands to another EU country or to a non-EU country. For this subsequent transport from the Netherlands you have to use the customs transit procedure. If you wish to use the customs transit procedure, you are compelled to file a declaration. You file this declaration by using the Transit-NCTS system. You need an electronic filing license to file the declaration.
