NCTS5 - Multiple House Consignments

Multiple House Consignments are sub-sections of the transit declaration where information can be declared relevant only to the items attributed to each specific house consignment.

Each house consignment covers goods moving from one consignor to one consignee. If every item on the declaration has a different consignor and consignee to every other item, each item can be contained within its own unique house consignment. 

There can be up to 1999 goods items declared which can be divided between up to 1999 house consignments as required.

Where a group of goods are moving from the same consignor to the same consignee, these will be declared to the same house consignment. Use of multiple house consignments will only be possible when multiple consignors and consignees are involved in the movement. Where a single consignor or consignee applies to all goods, this should be declared at the overall consignment level.

Each house consignment can contain up to 999 items, and the transit declaration cannot exceed 1999 items in total.

The process to assign an item to a house consignment is the same for all countries and instructions can be found here: How do I Link an Item to a House Consignment on a Transit Declaration.
