How can I use transit procedures (NCTS) in the AEB software and what does it cost?

In Export Filing: CHIEF/CDS, you can submit NCTS transit procedures, receive the necessary transit accompanying document (TAD), and print it out.

Export Filing: CHIEF/CDS supports the following and further declaration types:

• T1 – Goods moving under external Community transit procedure
• T2 – Goods moving under internal Community transit procedure

Import Filing: CHIEF/CDS lets you submit or discharge NCTS procedures.

Anybody can start a normal transit procedure, but this is a manual process requiring waiting for HMRC to manually accept your declaration. NCTS can be used in our system, as long as you can provide the following basics:

• an EORI number
• your business address
• Access code (a guarantee – with your bank and HMRC – see NCTS guarantees - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk) either yours or your customers)
• Trader Identification Number

Please note: To benefit from the automation advantages of a simplified transit procedure, you have to be a authorised consignor. Read more about this on HMRC’s website: Using your premises to start or end the movement of transit goods and Sending goods in transit procedure (NCTS) and getting the necessary authorisations for it.

• Transit procedures (NCTS Authorized Consignor (CR) and NCTS Authorized Consignee (CE)) are available from the Basic pricing model onwards (not available for Easy Mode/Starter plan): See details of which plans include NCTS on our website: UK export declarations with customs software
