Scenario: You have drawn up a transit document from the United Kingdom (or from Ireland) that continues to accompany the goods until their final destination in the European Union (so-called transit document; T1/T2). How it works:
- No, you do not need to notify the MID service of any through transit documents.
- But you do need to indicate in your booking with your shipping company / ferry operator that you wish to ship goods with a through transit document. You do this by giving the MRN number of your transit declaration in your booking.
- Upon arrival in the Netherlands, the shipping company will submit your transit document to Customs and will submit a pre-notification to the terminal on your behalf.
Please note! A transit document from the UK can be recognised by the first 5 characters: “21GB00” A number starting with “21GB01X” is not a transit document, but an export document from the UK.
