Document type: what is the difference between RT1/TT1 and RT2/TT2?

Through the service Notification Export Documentation, Transit documents (T-document) can be pre-notified. Use the correct document code so that the T-document is or is not discharged/reported to Customs on arrival at the terminal.

Should the T document be discharged/reported at terminal arrival?

• Yes, use document type RT1 or RT2. When using these document types, the T-document will be discharged/reported to Customs on arrival terminal. The cargo can only depart from the terminal via sea side.
• No, use document type TT1 or TT2. When using these document types, the T document will not be discharged/reported to Customs on terminal arrival. The T document can be used to further transport the Cargo in another EU country.

In box 53 of the T-document you will find the Office of destination (and country). Click here for the comprehensive guide to all the different document types.

Combined cargo T1 and T2: Do you transport goods under both T1 and T2 within one shipment; these should be registered as T1 goods (code RT1 or TT1).
