Service scope

Arranging and handling T1 transit

T1 is external transit, generally for non-Union goods. It allows movement under customs supervision to a place for further formalities without collecting import charges at that stage.

T1 for your route and cargo

We arrange T1 from ports and inland locations across Germany, the Netherlands and Belgium, including onward movements by road or rail. We confirm availability and presentation arrangements for the specific departure point, destination and cargo.

We handle transit formalities. We do not provide the transport itself.

Transit security and cargo type

We provide T1 transit security, including for high volumes and high value shipments. Excise, military or strategic goods and goods requiring veterinary formalities are assessed individually. We confirm the terms for the cargo and route.

Responsibilities under T1

Declaration and release for transit

We tell you when the declaration has been prepared and when release for transit has been received. Once the goods are under the procedure, we provide the agreed documents or references and information needed for the onward movement.

Monitoring, inspections and changes

If missing documents or a customs inspection delay processing, we share customs requirements and the handling status. Report a vehicle, route, collection date or destination change before it takes place. We check the declaration status and conditions for the change, including any involvement required from customs or other parties.

We agree the scope and period of monitoring available information in the order.

Quotes and regular movements

For one movement, send the departure location, destination, date and documents. For ongoing work, specify ports, typical routes, goods types and approximate monthly T1 volume. We will prepare terms and agree the first movement.

Request T1 service terms

We serve ports and inland locations across Germany, the Netherlands and Belgium. We check the route and presentation arrangements for each shipment.

What to send for a T1 quote

You do not need to know every formality. Send the available documents and a description of the transport; we will identify missing information.

  • Departure location, destination and planned route.
  • Invoice, specification or packing list: goods description, value, weight and package count.
  • Transport documents and available customs documents, including previous MRNs where relevant.
  • Consignor, consignee and carrier details, plus container or vehicle numbers when known.
  • Planned collection date, known customs office of destination details and email contact.

Documents and responsibilities in transit

The holder of the procedure is responsible, among other things, for the required guarantee and presentation of the goods and information within the time limit set by the office of departure. Carriers and recipients who knowingly accept goods under transit also have presentation obligations.

Transit ends on proper presentation of the goods and required information; customs discharges it after comparing departure and destination data.

T1 price: what determines the quote

Pricing depends on the route, goods type and value, number of items, documents and service scope. We usually prepare the declaration in about an hour after receiving complete documents and details. If complications arise, we explain the reason and give an updated estimate. Customs release and discharge follow their own timing.

Before your request

Do you arrange T1 from Hamburg, Rotterdam and Antwerp?

Yes, we accept enquiries for T1 coordination from these ports. We confirm feasibility after reviewing the goods, route, documents and service requirements.

Is T1 a port registration or export confirmation?

No. T1 is a transit procedure, while port registration supplies data needed for port handling. Export confirmation relates to the export procedure. We establish the necessary scope for the particular shipment.

Do you provide transit security for large shipments?

Yes. We provide T1 transit security, including for many high value shipments. We confirm the arrangements for each cargo and route. The goods and required information must still be presented at the right place and time.
